In a recent report by Fortune, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev expressed his belief that tokenization represents the next evolutionary step for financial services.
Tenev highlighted that assets like stocks could soon be transacted on blockchains, eliminating the need for traditional intermediaries in processes like trade settlements.
According to Fortune, major financial institutions such as BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are already exploring the potential of tokenization by issuing assets such as dollars and stocks on blockchain platforms.
Tenev also discussed Robinhood’s strategic moves in the crypto space, including the acquisition of Bitstamp for $200 million in June. He emphasized the significant cost efficiencies of running a crypto business compared to traditional financial operations, citing a clear technological advantage.
Regarding future plans, Tenev hinted at Robinhood’s interest in offering crypto futures trading in both the US and European markets, although no specific timeline has been set for this expansion.
Additionally, Tenev envisioned Robinhood evolving into a comprehensive wealth management platform, akin to traditional banks, by broadening its services to include retirement accounts, credit cards, and high-yield cash accounts.
