Robinhood CEO predicts an investing revolution is on the horizon: 'A big problem' for US

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev predicts an upcoming revolution in investing, highlighting the limitations faced by retail investors who currently lack access to investing in certain high-value, pre-IPO companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI. Tenev believes that the cumbersome IPO process restricts retail investors and that regulatory improvements could allow for greater access to cryptocurrency investments and private company stocks. He emphasizes a future where private markets are more democratically accessible to everyday investors, driven by advancements in cryptocurrency and supportive regulatory changes.
