Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev joins Andy live from the HOOD Summit in Houston, Texas for a quick conversation about tokenization and Robinhood Chain.He told us to look at the Robinhood app and imagine onchain versions of everything in it. Robinhood Chain is just two months old and already number one in developer activity, with huge onchain perps and spot DEX volume. He confirms private stock tokens are coming at scale, with Robinhood Ventures giving them unique access to private companies asking how to participate. He also explains his vision for tokenization: democratizing access at scale to wealth creation, perhaps allowing someone in Ecuador or Eastern Europe to have the same access to high-quality assets that Americans already have.Vladimir Tenev is the CEO of Robinhood.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Joseph Chalom says Larry Fink's line that Ethereum is the toll road to tokenization is exactly the right way to think about the asset, and he lays out why the market's bearish turn on ETH has it backwards. The SharpLink CEO and former BlackRock digital assets executive breaks down Ethereum's case as a trust commodity, walks through BlackRock's new research on agentic finance and stablecoins, and explains why he thinks agent-driven commerce could eventually dwarf crypto's entire market today.Joseph Chalom is CEO of SharpLink, an Ethereum treasury company, and previously served as Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Eric Conner says something is happening in crypto he's never seen in 14 years of watching these markets: coins like Zcash and the perp exchanges are decoupling from Bitcoin entirely. The EIP-1559 co-author and OG Ethereum developer explains why he refuses to pick sides between Hyperliquid and Lighter, breaks down the meme-stock trading phenomenon eating into Robinhood's tokenized stocks, and reacts live to major new CFTC guidance that could unlock tokenized assets as collateral.Eric Conner is co-author of Ethereum's EIP-1559 and an OG Ethereum developer and investor who has been active in crypto since 2012.AI Supercycle is Rollup's series on the intersection of AI and crypto, powered by NEAR.00:00 Intro 02:09 Eric Fumbled Venice At Sub $1 04:10 Own Both Hype And Lighter And Chill 06:13 Eric Sold ETH To Buy Hyperliquid 08:14 Why Eric Stopped Being An ETH Maxi 10:33 Perps Are The Most Obvious Trade Out There 14:24 Tokenized Stocks Will Get Meme Coin'd 18:54 CFTC Staff Clears Tokenized Collateral Live 22:14 ETH Does Not Need A Thesis To Pump27:49 Robinhood Chain Already $500M Annualized 29:24 Wall Street Has Not Priced Robinhood Chain 35:31 Meme Stock Outpaces Its Own Market Cap 39:23 52 Month DeFi Bear Market Is OverGuest Socials:Eric Conner X: https://x.com/econoarPartners: If you run concentrated liquidity positions you know the grind.

Haseeb Qureshi joins to catch us up on his portfolio, why he's extremely bullish on perps, tokenization, and prediction markets. He explains how more than half of Hyperliquid's volume is already real-world assets, which means the competitor isn't Coinbase, it's ICE and the Nasdaq, and the addressable market is enormous by comparison. He ranks the big categories Dragonfly is allocating $4 billion across, calls vaults the weakest of them on defensibility, and explains why perps beat tokenization over the next year even if that reverses in five. He also breaks down why every state attorney general is suing prediction markets, and why this ends as a Supreme Court vote.Haseeb Qureshi is a Managing Partner at Dragonfly, a digital assets venture capital firm.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Se Yong Park says FOMO has the first objective feedback loop in social media history: you made money, or you didn't. He frames it as social media three, the speculation graph following Facebook's social graph and Instagram's interest graph, and explains why FOMO deliberately owns none of the layers it trades on.

Carlos Domingo says what Robinhood issued are debt securities, and the industry is conflating three very different products under one word. He walks through all three models, explains why only one gives you actual ownership, and argues the digital assets degen audience buying them is a far smaller market than people assume. He also flags a closing window: the SEC's transfer agent proposal is open for comment until November, and unlike the Gensler era, this one is actually reading them. Plus what going public really changed, with $50 million in the bank and acquisitions on the radar.Carlos Domingo is the Founder and CEO of Securitize.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

RWA perps just expanded Ethena's addressable market from $2.5 trillion of crypto to $150 trillion of everything else. Guy Young explains why he thinks that's a bigger unlock than anything USDe has done so far, and why Ethena Pay is the first thing he's been this excited about since launch. He's candid about the past three years too as he covers a comical run of four-sigma events, a cap table he now calls a mistake, and the decision to buy out every investor who'd been selling. On buybacks, he breaks ranks with the market: he thinks they're the wrong call at this size, and he's doing them anyway.Guy Young is the Founder and CEO of Ethena Labs, the team behind USDe.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Kevin O'Leary joins us in NYC for an interview about his allocation and views on the digital asset market.Digital assets becoming the twelfth sector of the S&P was his core framing. He thinks it gets there by servicing the other eleven. He also walks back a position he held eighteen months ago: that everything would standardize on Ethereum. Now he expects sectors to pick their own chains, and says whichever one lands the first major exchange takes the whole prize while the rest lose. He closes on why he's moved to 23% alternatives, his new long in uranium, and why Bitcoin's path to a million runs through the quantum question.Kevin O'Leary is the Chairman of O'Leary Ventures and Beanstox, and an investor on Shark Tank.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Jeremy Allaire joins us from the Arc mainnet launch event in NYC this week to discuss the explosive growth ahead of agentic finance.Mobile existed for fifteen years before iOS and Android made it actually work. Jeremy Allaire thinks blockchains just hit the same moment. On Arc's launch day, he lays out why Circle built a network operating system rather than another chain, and how the agentic economy requires two systems working together: intelligence layers for the thinking, economic layers for the trust and execution. DTCC has already copied to Arc, along with tokenized equity issuers, bond and credit issuers, and more than a dozen foreign currency stablecoins. He closes on why flat stablecoin supply during a bear market is a healthy signal, not a worrying one.Jeremy Allaire is the CEO of Circle, the issuer of USDC and the company behind the Arc network.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

WisdomTree's Head of Digital Asset's Will Peck joins us for Episode #1 of Convergence, our new institutional product for sophisticated investors in partnership with Jacquelyn Melinek and StrataMedia.WisdomTree's onchain assets went from $30 million to over $1 billion, and Will Peck says money market funds did the heavy lifting. On episode one of Convergence, Will explains why tokenized funds complement stablecoins rather than compete with them, and how WisdomTree got SEC exemptive relief to let a tokenized money market fund trade 24/7 through a broker dealer. He also pushes back on the private-markets tokenization thesis, arguing illiquidity isn't a record-keeping problem.

CMS Holdings operator Dan joins us for a conversation about positioning for the next bull market.Tokenized equities end up bigger than stablecoins, and Dan Matuszewski thinks most people have the reason wrong. It isn't about 24/7 trading or DeFi composability. It's that an enormous share of the world wants to own Nvidia and structurally can't, exactly the gap Tether filled for dollars. He also pushes back on the barbell everyone's crowding into, and makes the contrarian case that L1s are underrated because nobody can articulate why you'd own them.Dan Matuszewski is the Co-Founder of CMS Holdings and previously ran one of crypto's largest OTC trading desks.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.
