In this episode of the Unchained podcast, host Laura Shin interviews Vlad Tenev, the CEO of Robinhood, as they dive into the company's remarkable success in the crypto space in 2024. Key drivers of this growth include the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, Donald Trump's presidential win, and the expansion of Robinhood's product offerings. Tenev shares insights on how the company has increased its market share, its acquisition of Bitstamp, and the rising interest in crypto ETFs and staking services in Europe. He also outlines his vision for the future, which includes tokenizing real-world assets and creating a more efficient, cost-effective trading experience through blockchain.
