🇺🇸 CEO Robinhood Vladimir Tenev said he views crypto from two perspectives: one as "an asset to trade" like stocks, options, or futures contracts, and the other as "a foundational technology that changes the financial system."
– He stated that crypto is the next stage in the evolution of technology, following paper documentation, internal servers, and cloud computing.
– With crypto, many things like exchanges, lending platforms, or payment processing will be replaced by open-source software and shared infrastructure.
– In the future, crypto technology will "operate all financial services," including stock trading and traditional financial assets.
– He believes that "crypto and traditional finance will completely merge."
