Robinhood CEO: “Tokenization is like a freight train. It can’t be stopped and will eventually eat the entire financial system” Vlad Tenev finds stablecoins to be a useful analogy to explain the benefits of tokenizing real world assets like equities and real estate: “For stablecoins in the US, we... show more

@SantiagoAuFund where have I heard this thesis before? 😂
Tokenize the World.
Whenever you get to compare $QUANT to other RWA tokens ,you get to see how we’re still ridiculously early on @Quantrhood 0x41af7e794DEe45EEfab49B6c387eAC9368d69C4D
Tokenization works best on Algorand $ALGO. It’s a proven fact ✅
Digitisation & tokenisation are becoming mainstays in world finance, & it's all coming together with the embrace of stablecoin rails for payments, as well as their adoption by TradFi in collaboration with workflow layers such as W3 to drive sectors suuch as equipment financing
But who actually holds the deeds? If they custody the underlying asset, you’ve just rebuilt a bank with extra steps.
Given that Robinhood already has tokenized stocks live in the EU and is building its own Ethereum L2, what’s the single biggest regulatory or technical hurdle still standing in the way of meaningful U.S. retail adoption?
_tokenize everything!
The stablecoin comparison is a useful way to frame it. Once the infrastructure for issuance, settlement, and trading is in place, tokenized assets become much easier to distribute globally.
The dollar demand he's describing is showing up in companies. Businesses in markets where dollar access is hard are already paying suppliers in stablecoins.
Tokenization changes the access layer, not the underlying asset. For real estate, title, local enforcement, cash flow and asset servicing still exist beneath the token.
Institutions are still scrambling for the rails while people already trade tokenized shares like its normal

@SantiagoAuFund And how does bitcoin fit into this ecosystem? 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Tokenization is inevitable
A father should never have to beg strangers to save his child... but here I am. Please, if you have kindness in your heart, help my daughter Eva. Every single donation gives us hope.
Tokenization only scales if institutions can trust the data behind every asset. That's where provenance becomes infrastructure, and why platforms like @InveniamIO and @NVNM_Chain matter for bringing private markets onchain with verifiable records.
Nothing stops this train 🤑
On-chain TVL just broke $600M, a 50% increase in a single week. Is RWA about to take off? Ethereum, as infrastructure, has obvious advantages. Are you optimistic about Robinhood's ETH L2 plans?👀
嗯这套说辞还挺熟悉的嘛
Tokenization keeps gaining momentum. 🚀
Tokenization , stable coins and 24/7 live markets are really good use case .
Calling tokenization unstoppable is a bold but common framing now.
The market structure is shifting beneath the surface. Retail sees: BTC at $64K, ranging for 6 months, Fear & Greed at 28. Institutions see: CLARITY Act final draft, FIDD launching, MS BTC Trust growing, LTH accumulation at record highs. The divergence between retail perception and institutional reality is the widest I have seen since late 2020. Retail looks at price. Institutions look at infrastructure. Infrastructure is being built at an accelerating pace. Price follows infrastructure with a 6-12 month lag. Those who understand this accumulate while retail waits for a better entry. The better entry is now.
How about Mr. Vlad repay all the retail traders he stole money from when he prevented SALES of $GME and rigged the price?
maybe the financial system will eat tokenization
freedom rails upgrading fast
I love the future Robinhood is bringing on-chain. Project like $RUNNER is still very undervalued and the team keep shipping real products. @RunnerExchange will soon explode 0x230442c8133a9efb4c278b3723043444749ca08b
missing something maybe
☝️ You’re either early or late
Robinhood's CEO calling tokenization a "freight train" is spot on. Europe is already live, and the US will eventually follow. Stablecoins are just the first domino.
![Robinhood CEO: In the future there will be no distinction between crypto and traditional finance “I think that crypto technology has so many advantages over the traditional way we’re doing things that in the future there will be no distinction. It’s kind of how technology itself was viewed as a sector of the economy for a very long time… I think crypto will go through the same transition where we’re still thinking about it in its own bucket but eventually everything will be on-chain in some form or another and the distinction will disappear.” Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev explains why this transition is taking so long: “I think the challenge with traditional finance — particularly on the infrastructure layer — is they have a lot of stakeholders, and if you think about where they generate the bulk of their revenue, it’s not from crypto-related initiatives. And a lot of these stakeholders, because they’re quite big, are going to be resistant and slower to adopt technologies. They’re going to be late adopters. They’re going to wait until it’s proven before adopting it, and that’s why we [Robinhood] have had to do greater vertical integration than we would normally want to do in TradFi. We acquired Bitstamp. We have our own exchange. And we have our own chain because I don’t think — to be at the frontier of crypto — you can rely on traditional infrastructure providers. I think they’ll get there eventually but it will take a very long time.” Ethereum will be the global settlement layer for this new financial system, and ETH will be its money. ETH is the base pair for trading on The Robinhood Chain, the highest volume asset, and the gas token to pay for blockspace.

![The Trump admin is GASLIGHTING us re: no CBDCs They know they can't do CBDCs because of the Constitution, so they're backdooring them with stablecoins Iain Davis explains— "the idea of a [CBDC] is that it will give these private institutions total control of a new digital international monetary and financial system" "CBDC is programmable money that slots into that system. That's why they want it" "That's not going to work in the US because... it's a constitutional right in the United States that the people, and only the people, oversee what they call the power, quote–unquote... to coin money" "So what are you going to do about it? You need some sort of work-round" "So stablecoins and things like deposit tokens or tokenized deposits are variations of programmable digital currency. But rather than being issued by a central bank, they're issued by a commercial bank" "stablecoins... slot into the system of programmability just as easily, if not more so than a central bank digital currency. So you can attach smart contracts to any kind of digital transaction using digital currency" "Programmable digital currency and stablecoins do exactly the same thing, serve the same purpose, as central bank digital currency" This clip of Iain Davis (InThisTogether), author of The Technocratic Dark State, is taken from a Flashlights podcast (Flashlights Podcast) episode posted to Rumble on May 17, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "It's a constitutional right in the United States that the people, and only the people, oversee what they call the power, quote–unquote, it says this in the Constitution, to coin money. So the power to coin money is overseen by the people. "Now the idea of a central bank digital currency is that it will give these private institutions total control of a new digital international monetary and financial system. That's CBDC is programmable money that slots into that system. That's why they want it. "That's not going to work in the US because even though Congress, you know, Congress is the, is the dog which is wagged by the tail in this of the Fed, the Fed, you know, the Fed tells Congress what to do, not the other way round. But theoretically it could be the other way round. And theoretically the people could assert their control over the Fed if they only knew about it, which, not many people do, but they could do it, right? It's in the US Constitution. "Now that's a problem if you're going to embark on a global transformation of the entire international monetary and financial system when your leading reserve currency is the US dollar. So that's, you know, that could all go wrong very badly. "So what are you going to do about it? You need some sort of work round. How are you, how are you going to do which for the, you know, I, for many years, well, since central bank digital currency has been something that I've been looking at, I couldn't figure out why the US wasn't more enthusiastic about central bank digital currency. "Because it's the type of thing that the US administrations are usually right up— You know, they're really gung ho about that kind of centralized control of everything. That's right up their alley. So why, why don't they like it? And then it was the work of John Titus who pointed out this problem that they've got in the US with the Constitution that made me look at that and think, right. And then I started investigating that further. And he's right about that. That is a problem. "But then they obviously need some sort of workaround. How are they going to have. Because the main point of central bank digital currency from the surveillance and control aspect is that we will all need digital identity in order to access our digital wallets, which will contain the currency and the currency and the wallets and our, digital identities will all be programmable so conditions can be set on everything that we do. "Every transaction we make will be subject to condition through some sort of smart contract probably, which will control it. Right. So you know, if you say the wrong thing or you know, you, you just write the wrong thing online, you could be punished by algorithm by controlling your access to money... "And so the key to that is central bank— the programmability of central bank digital currency. But obviously that's not going to, may not work. There's a good chance that won't work in the United States which has got the US dollar reserve is an important currency. "So what are you going to do? So stablecoins and things like deposit tokens or tokenized deposits are variations of programmable digital currency. But rather than being issued by a central bank, they're issued by a commercial bank. So or in the case of stablecoins, a non-bank, a non-bank institution like Tether. So it's not a bank. "But you can use stablecoins for exactly the same. They slot into the system of programmability just as easily, if not more so than a central bank digital currency. So you can attach smart contracts to any kind of digital transaction using digital currency. Programmable digital currency and stablecoins do exactly the same thing, serve the same purpose as central bank digital currency or the other version, the commercial bank version is deposit tokens. Any of those will do. "Now in the US they've gone down the stablecoin route so they can issue the stablecoins which will be backed by US Treasuries, just like the dollar or just like any kind of dollar instrument will be one to one convertible for the US dollar. So the stablecoins are effectively the US dollar in, in digital form. "But instead of calling it a central bank digital currency, they call it issued by, it wouldn't have to be issued by the Fed. They call it a stablecoin, which is issued by a company like Tether or you know, someone like that. So it's the same system but using a workaround. And that workaround came with the Genius Act which, which came from an executive order that Trump made when he first came to office. "Because the Americans, quite rightly when they were electing their president, were concerned about central bank digital currency. I mean anyone that understands what it is should be terrified of it. So they didn't want it, and Trump promised that they wouldn't have it. Probably. I don't know whether he knew, but certainly the gaggle of technocrats that were around him knew that they weren't going down that path. Anyway, no chance of the US introducing it because of these problems we've just outlined."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2060155537791303822/amplify_video_thumb/2060149164164669440/img/gbwudVOTDKQpFTbG.jpg)
![Avichal Garg on why he’s bullish ETH “What ETH has that is very difficult to reproduce is credible neutrality. And if you think there’s going to be a global financial system settlement layer, I think that is the critical thing — that trust and neutrality is basically irreproducible… ETH has that.” “For me the turning point for ETH was when the United States decided to seize Russian assets and weaponize the dollar… If you’re Germany, France, India, Turkey, Brazil, or most of the world, you’re looking at the world and saying, I don’t think I want to be allied with the Chinese — India certainly doesn’t — but now I’m worried that if I ally with the US and then they want me to do something and I don’t do it, they’re just going to take all my money? What you want is a US dollar denominated system that the US cannot single-handedly decide to boot you from and where the United States cannot just take all your assets. That’s literally what Ethereum is.” “[Ethereum is] a US dollar denominated system, that nobody in the world controls, that anybody can mutually agree to transact upon, where the United States can’t steal your assets — and there are ways to structure synthetic dollar assets that are not sitting in US banks, just like the Eurodollar system. What is that worth? I think that’s worth a lot of money.” “If you’re any bank, country, or central bank, [Ethereum] is the only place you can do that. Now how does that get valued? Does that mean ETH becomes a store of value as the endogenous backing asset for the thing which can be used as collateral? We tend to think that those things are true, and we’ve written about this.” “You can go talk to anybody on Wall Street. Where are they building? Everybody’s trying to build on ETH. Where’s Coinbase building? Where’s Robinhood building? Where’s SoFi building? Underneath it all, all of the activity for that sort of behavior — geopolitically, central bank level, important behavior — is happening right now in this space [on Ethereum], and I think it will take some time for people to appreciate and underwrite that.” “In 10 years people will look around and be like, ‘Oh wow, that’s really important, and I should own a piece of that.’ I don’t know when it rerates, but I think at some point people will get their heads around that there is something unique to this thing that nobody else will be able to reproduce, and that thing is valuable.” Source: Empire 🟪 (Jun 2026) Read our report "Why Permissionless Infrastructure Wins" below 👇](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2068365760440004665/amplify_video_thumb/2068056625034768384/img/W3zDgKCb9p7DGrfZ.jpg)
![Goldman Sachs CEO and former U.S. Treasury Secretary: Stablecoins will be “enormous” “You can use stablecoins to very effectively — particularly in small transactions; big transactions you use FedWire — to go from US dollar stablecoins to euros or yen or other things. I think it is enormous, and I think the stablecoin legislation is a big step in the right direction,” says former U.S. Secretary Treasury Steven Mnuchin. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon agrees: “Higher speed, less friction.” Both also agree that stablecoins are not a threat to the U.S. dollar, and will in fact strengthen it. Mnuchin explains: “If you have stablecoins that are backed by U.S. Treasuries, I don’t think the U.S. needs to issue its own stablecoin. I think you’re going to see enormous use cases for these.” “And enormous demand for the dollar over time,” Solomon adds. “To me, [stablecoins] strengthen the moat around the dollar and the dollar’s position as the global reserve currency.” Roughly 52% of all stablecoins live on Ethereum (~$163 billion). If you exclude Tron, Ethereum’s stablecoin dominance jumps to 71%.

![Whitney Webb: "Larry Fink is now running...the World Economic Forum...[and] the tokenization agenda in particular seeks to tokenize...the natural world and transform it into financial assets...[Recall] the phrase that we all heard during the COVID era—'You'll own nothing and be happy'—Well, there's certain people that want to own everything, and that includes things that have never been able to be owned before...like the public commons, like rivers, lakes, the ocean itself, natural forests...These people want to put all of that into the financial system [to] fractionalize it, tokenize it, and sell pieces of it around. You know, use it to speculate on. I mean, it's very bonkers." This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout, is taken from an interview with Glenn Beck (Glenn Beck) posted to YouTube on October 11, 2025. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "Larry Fink is now running, I believe the World Economic Forum. He's acting chairman. And— in addition to saying that everything will be tokenized, he's said that everything will soon be on the same universal digital ledger or database, and that everything on that database will have a unique identifier number. So for you as an individual, your identifier number, will presumably be your digital ID or directly linked to that, but everything will have a digital ID. "The tokenization agenda in particular seeks to tokenize not just, you know, assets that we traditionally think of, like real estate for example, or, or gold or you know, physical assets as well as digital, assets like Bitcoin. There's a major effort, connected with people like, like Fink and also people like Mark Carney, who's now prime, Minister of Canada, to tokenize, the. The natural world and transform it into financial assets. "And there was an attempt to do this to an extent, under the Biden administration, I believe, through the Department of Interior, with natural asset corporations. But that has not gone away. And there are groups, for example, one of the creators of the ETF, model originally, which BlackRock now now owns, iShares. His name is Peter Knez, I think is how you pronounce it. He's trying to turn the Amazon rainforest, into a digital commodity sort of similar to Bitcoin in terms of like the, the scarcity idea that, you know, each hectare of the Amazon rainforest would represent, you know, a token and then, and then financialize it that way. And then each hectare would then be. Have its unique identifier right on, on the, on the blockchain and, and would be, you know, serviced by surveillance drones and all sorts of stuff. "So even our most like natural. The places we conceptualize is the most natural places on Earth. These people want to come in place surveillance technology and you know, tokenize it and put it on a blockchain and use it to you know, I would argue in the case particularly of natural asset, corporations and the group behind it, the intrinsic exchange group, they just want to open up a huge new asset class. They call it nature's opportunity, so that they can continue engaging in the same type of bad, behavior that for example, bought us, brought us the 2008 financial crisis, by you know quintupling the amount of assets currently in play. "So apply this now to the. The phrase that we all heard during the COVID era. You'll own nothing and be happy. Well, there's certain people that want to own everything, and that includes things that have never been able to be owned before that were considered things like the public commons, like rivers, lakes, the ocean itself, natural forests, all sorts of it. These people want to put all of that, into the financial system, fractionalize it, tokenize it, and sell Sell pieces of it around. You know, use it to speculate on. I mean, it's, it's.
