If you been following my live reaction to the Robinhood event in the @saloon then this post should be of no surprise to you.
Robinhood had its crypto keynote today about the different products they are bringing to market.
In quick review:
  1. Robinhood is coming to the EU
  2. EU customers can trade stock tokens and trade perpetual futures. (bitmex)
  3. Staking is now live for US customers. Stake Solana and ETH
  4. The Robinhood chain is their own in house blockchain. This will trade tokens and other real world assets on bitstamp in the coming months
  5. 0% fee trades on bitcoin
  6. Their stablecoin USDg goes live in the EU soon
  7. EU investors can buy private equity tokens. Those EU customers who open an account between today and July 7th have a chance to be airdropped Open AI and Space X stock tokens

In the EU

Explains how stock tokens work on the Robinhood chain

Private company stock tokens

The Robinhood Chain

In this era of shitcoining im not at all surprised at these announcements. I was hoping to hear they are releasing their lightning network wallet for Bitcoin but I guess I’m the fool. The idea of stock tokens sounds great but they are not available in the USA (along with perp trading) until they receive regulatory approval. After this news Robinhood shares shot up 10%. I think the PE is up around 40 which is extremely expensive for a stock but if Robinhood pulls this off and gets all this shitcoin capital it could be a decent investment if they can keep growing.
(Disclaimer I own a bag of Robinhood shares)

Private company access is the only sensible use case for this grift.

I have to say I love the idea of them. I might be in the minority with this but until then stock market goes 24/7 there is going to be a demand

24/7 trading will be highly illiquid during non traditional trading hours. It will be great for whales who can push the price around not so much for retail.

How does the token give you legal right to the underlying equity? How do I exercise that legal right when there is some hack?
To me it is just price exposure.

You've never had legal right to the underlying equity. Even on the traditional stock market, the shares are vested in the name of the Depository Trust Company.
All you own is a fancy IOU

These are questions that weren’t 100% clear in the presentation. To mee it seems like they are trying to create De-Fi liquidity to trade outside of tradfi markets.
So wouldn’t call it real innovation plus it’s all still dollar based it’s not based on sats or some other shitcoin token.

You don’t get the stock though. You get a token that represents price exposure.

According to the presentation you can get the stock if you want. You burn the token.

Republic is about to start offering SpaceX via their platform which I think has really flown under the radar. Republic was in my eyes the first and really only place to let anyone tap these markets.
