Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that cryptocurrency is the future of finance and outlined four key areas where the company aims to accelerate its development.

Crypto is the future. Here’s how we’re going to accelerate:

1. Offer more selection of crypto assets for our customers

2. Continue to invest in the Robinhood Wallet

3. Bring the “Robinhood Effect” to the institutional crypto market through the integration of Bitstamp

Among these priorities, he highlighted the listing of new tokens, increased investment in Robinhood Wallet, integration with the Bitstamp exchange to serve institutional investors, and exploring opportunities for real-world asset tokenization.

“We are at the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized technologies, which gives us unique opportunities for growth,” Tenev said.

Since Donald Trump was elected U.S. president—who has expressed support for the crypto industry—Robinhood has added seven new tokens to its platform, including SOL, XRP, and ADA.

The CEO noted a rise in activity among Robinhood Wallet users and promised further improvements to the product.

According to Tenev, once the Bitstamp acquisition is complete, the company will be able to enter the institutional market and bring the “Robinhood effect” from the retail segment to a new sector.

He also emphasized tokenization as one of the most promising ways to integrate blockchain with traditional assets, calling it a means to “unlock the true potential of the crypto revolution.”

Earlier this month, the SEC closed its investigation into Robinhood’s crypto division.
