$HOOD » CEO @VladTenev on changing accredited investor rules to self-certification:
“Personally, I think it should be pretty close to self-certification.
If you say to me, ‘I understand the risks. I understand I could lose all my money,’ and we put a skull and crossbones saying, ‘This is very, very dangerous,’ you should be able to invest in a company like @SpaceX or @OpenAI.
And particularly in a world where you can invest in your choice of crypto asset relatively freely and in a very unrestricted way, I think something has to give. It’s just a kind of nonsensical status quo.”
$HOOD: "On the SEC side: I think private markets and tokenization are the biggest things that I care about. The SEC is very receptive to trying to make that work... I think a full redo of accreditation [accredited investor laws] frankly is what's needed." - @VladTenev

$HOOD » CEO @VladTenev Introducing Agentic Finance:
“Just last week, we took a big step forward with the launch of a new category that we’re calling Agentic Finance.
The idea behind Agentic Finance is that you’re seeing all of these developments in the core models and agentic harnesses, and we want to make those models and innovations available to all the financial products and services we offer.”
$HOOD: “Agentic trading allows customers to build agents that trade on their behalf through Robinhood accounts. Agentic trading is a great tool for self-directed traders and investors to add these capabilities while staying in control.” – @VladTenev
"Our mission has always been to democratize finance for all, and now, that mission extends to AI agents," said Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood.

Robinhood proving yet again, it’s the most accessible and best brokerage in the world.
$HOOD: “What people really want is to invest in an individual private company as easily as they can invest in a public stock. And maybe they want an individual piece of land or a property in a neighborhood that they think is going to do well.” – @VladTenev
“The average age of a first-time homebuyer is 40 years old — far too old for people to be able to start a family, buy a house, and live their lives. We have to change that.” – @JoeMitchellIowa
“We have to keep the American Dream alive. Right now, the average age for a first-time homebuyer is 40. When I was buying a home, and when Lou bought his first home, we were in our 20s.” – @MarkAlfordKC
@amitisinvesting Bitcoin lacks a real-world use case; no one uses it day to day, and no one uses it as a form of modern-day payment.
This is its strongest use case: https://t.co/yBaMmgkuaP
@zerohedge True.
That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.
Neuralink is planning its first Blindsight implant later this year, aiming to restore limited vision even for people who have lost both eyes, their optic nerve, or were born blind
Over time, it could potentially go beyond that and offer enhanced or even superhuman vision
