Robinhood2026-10-01 01:02:53Robinhood plans to expand stock tokens to thousands of companies, eyes private equity tokenizationRobinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said the company’s next phase for its stock-token product will be a major expansion in coverage. The platform currently offers about 200 stock tokens, and the target is to increase that number to several thousand. Tenev also said Robinhood is exploring the tokenization of private equity and has already identified a path to implementation. At the same time, Robinhood Ventures is building relationships with private companies, while the firm’s underwriting business is helping those companies shape listing strategies aimed at retail investors. The remarks point to a broader push by Robinhood to widen the range of tokenized equity offerings on its platform and connect that effort with work involving private-market companies.30

Robinhood2026-08-05 06:42:03Robinhood Ventures Launches $200M Fund RVII for Y Combinator StartupsRobinhood Ventures has unveiled its second venture capital fund, RVII, with a planned raise of $200 million targeting startups from Y Combinator's current and past cohorts. The fund is set to list on the New York Stock Exchange at $25 per share, with trading expected to begin on Aug. 13. Unlike the firm's first fund, RVI, which carried no performance fee, RVII charges a 2% management fee and a 20% performance fee, translating to an estimated annual total expense ratio of about 4.18%. Robinhood describes the vehicle as a "speculative" investment, warning of "significant risk of loss" and noting shareholders will not have redemption rights. RVI debuted in March, raising $658.4 million and focusing on late-stage names such as Databricks, Stripe, OpenAI and SpaceX. That fund fell 16% on its first trading day before rebounding roughly 30%. RVII, by contrast, shifts the focus toward seed-stage companies. Robinhood Ventures head Sarah Pinto says the fund lets retail investors "participate in early-stage growth without waiting for a company's IPO." Goldman Sachs is acting as lead underwriter, with Citigroup, JPMorgan, UBS and Wells Fargo as joint underwriters. The subscription window closes on Aug. 12.1780
