Robinhood in communication with European regulators on tokenized stocks
On July 8, Bloomberg reported that Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood Markets Inc., said the company was in communication with regulators about its tokenized stock product launched in Europe, after the product sparked criticism from several companies including OpenAI.
The Menlo Park, California-based company announced last week that retail investors in the European Union can start trading blockchain tokens representing U.S. stocks through its application. The launch also includes tokens for private companies like OpenAI. However, OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, later reminded traders that these "tokens" do not represent company equity.
The brokerage is being questioned by regulators, including the Bank of Lithuania, about the structure of these tokens and whether they blur the line between real equity and derivatives. The Central Bank of Lithuania has confirmed that it has asked Robinhood for details. #Robinhood #OpenAI
