A future owned by the few is fragile. Throughout history, societies have fractured when too many people were excluded from the wealth they helped create. Robinhood exists to make everyone an owner. Broad ownership is essential to a free, stable, and prosperous society.

$HOOD » CEO @VladTenev on changing accredited investor rules to self-certification: “Personally, I think it should be pretty close to self-certification. If you say to me, ‘I understand the risks. I understand I could lose all my money,’ and we put a skull and crossbones saying, ‘This is very, very dangerous,’ you should be able to invest in a company like @SpaceX or @OpenAI. And particularly in a world where you can invest in your choice of crypto asset relatively freely and in a very unrestricted way, I think something has to give. It’s just a kind of nonsensical status quo.”

$HOOD: "On the SEC side: I think private markets and tokenization are the biggest things that I care about. The SEC is very receptive to trying to make that work... I think a full redo of accreditation [accredited investor laws] frankly is what's needed." - @VladTenev

$HOOD: “What people really want is to invest in an individual private company as easily as they can invest in a public stock. And maybe they want an individual piece of land or a property in a neighborhood that they think is going to do well.” – @VladTenev
