What stands out

Vlad Tenev, Robinhood's co-founder and CEO, used his appearance at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to argue for clearer, more permanent crypto rules and to say prediction markets will survive a likely legal test, even if they must adapt. That's real-time lobbying and positioning from a company whose retail brand depends on clear custody and product rules. If regulators deliver clarity, Robinhood's ability to expand crypto features and restore investor confidence could change the trajectory of its revenue streams.
