Robinhood CEO: We have received numerous requests from private companies to issue tokenized stocks

According to Cointelegraph, Robinhood has attracted strong interest from many private companies looking to tokenize their shares after launching a stock token platform in the EU last week. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said the company has received numerous requests from private companies looking to allow retail investors to participate in their equity trading through blockchain-based tokens. The platform is currently only available in the EU and supports the trading of over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks, five days a week. At the same time, the platform also ran a promotion, giving away free non-tradable tokens representing private companies such as OpenAI and SpaceX. [ChainCatcher]
