Token of the financial world: Robinhood boss sees billions of chances!
On October 2, 2025, Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, presented his vision for the tokenization of real assets (RWA) at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore. Tenev is convinced that this technology could revolutionize the global financial market. He explains that the tokenization of real assets has the potential to release trillions into additional value and to raise the financial markets from a volume in the single -digit trillion range to several trillion dollars. He describes this development as a "freight train" that will influence the entire financial system.
The tokenization has previously made illiquid assets more accessible, which would significantly reduce the costs. It becomes clear that Tenev predicts faster acceptance in markets outside the USA, especially in regions with more advanced regulatory framework such as Europe. Robinhood itself began in June 2025 with the introduction of tokenized stocks, including US securities, and is planning an expansion to the European Union. The CEO emphasizes that Robinhood is working on a new Layer 2 Blockchain to accelerate the process of the tokenization of real assets.
Growth of the tokenization market
Robinhood also shows interest in prediction markets as a potential business area. Tenev wants to expand the product for event contracts beyond the USA. He emphasizes that Prediction Markets differ from gambling by representing a combination of media, bets and trade. He is convinced that Robinhood will play a significant role in giving access to these markets for individual investors.
The views of Tenev reflect the growing relevance and the potential of tokenization in the global financial landscape. Robinhood's developments could not only change the company itself, but the entire sector.
