Robinhood’s new move to tokenize private shares of OpenAI might sound like innovation… but lawyers say it’s walking a legal tightrope āš–ļø

Here’s the deal:

šŸ‘‰ These aren’t real shares, just fractional exposure via a ā€œSPVā€ (special purpose vehicle).

šŸ‘‰ OpenAI says the offer is unauthorized 🚫

šŸ‘‰ SEC? šŸ‘€ Watching closely. Hester Peirce says these are securities – full stop.

šŸ‘‰ And if Robinhood collapses? Holders might be left with nothing 😬

Crypto lawyer John Montague warns this could violate shareholder agreements and spark lawsuits. And let’s not forget:

Figure AI already sent cease-and-desists to stop this exact thing.

Still, there’s a twist:

āœ… It opens startup investing to everyday people.

ā—But without voting rights or ownership? It might just fuel another bubble šŸ’£

So...

Innovation or lawsuit bait?
