Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, stresses the need to update U.S. Investment laws to enable startups to tokenize equity. He condemns the existing ‘accredited investor’ restrictions that limit private investments to affluent individuals, risking inequality in the investment landscape.
Tenev highlights the fast-paced advancements in crypto regulation in regions like the European Union and Hong Kong, contrasting it with the slower progress in the U.S. He advocates for a clear regulatory framework for security tokens to ensure broader market participation and innovation.
