Lucas Moskowitz, General Counsel at Robinhood returns to the show to talk tokenization of Real World Assets and the current state of crypto legislation. Lucas updates us on Robinhood's evolving demographics, noting that while the platform remains a hub for first-time investors, the customer base is maturing alongside the platform's product offerings, such as retirement matching and advisory services. Moskowitz also highlights the company's commitment to financial literacy. The core of the conversation shifts to the shifting regulatory landscape regarding cryptocurrency and the potential for legislative clarity under a new administration. Moskowitz breaks down the concept of Tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA), explaining how blockchain technology can democratize access to private markets, art, and real estate. The discussion covers the technical and legal differences between "native" tokens and "wrapper" products, the benefits of 24/7 liquidity, and why the United States risks falling behind global jurisdictions like the EU and Asia if regulatory frameworks do not evolve. Key Takeaways Robinhood's Evolution: The platform now serves 26 million customers. While half are first-time investors, the company is expanding into advisory and retirement products to serve users throughout their financial lifecycles. Crypto Regulation: There is a shift from "regulation by enforcement" toward legislative clarity. Moskowitz discusses the importance of comprehensive market structure bills and stablecoin legislation to provide long-term durability for the industry. Tokenization Mechanics: Tokenization is the digital representation of a real-world asset on a blockchain. This innovation promises to increase liquidity, allow for fractional ownership of high-value assets (like private equity or art), and enable faster settlement times. The "Wrapper" Concept: Moskowitz explains Robinhood's EU offering, where customers trade a tokenized "wrapper" that represents a share of US stock held in custody, distinguishing this from companies issuing native tokens directly on the blockchain. Why Lawyers Should Care: Even those outside of securities law must pay attention to tokenization, as it is poised to impact the documentation and transfer of all real-world assets, including real estate deeds and commercial contracts.

We begin the new year on SmarterMarkets™ with Part Two of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review. This week, we're continuing to revisit the conversations with our guests that helped us understand and articulate the themes that would come to define 2025. It was the year in which we discovered that this was not the energy transition that we were expecting; and the year in which a new geopolitical reality emerged and old geopolitical concerns resurfaced. It was the year featuring a tale of two carbon markets and the need for new weather markets to manage the risks posed by reliance on renewable power. And 2025 was the year in which there was both a new gold rush and a rush into tokenization. We hope you'll sit back, relax, and enjoy Part Two of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.

Key Takeaways: Asset Arbitrage: Asset arbitrage is a way to increase value by using new tools like blockchain and digital tokens. These tools help assets move more easily, making them simpler to buy, sell, or use as collateral. How Money Is Changing: Money has always changed over time. In the past, people exchanged goods, then coins, then paper money. Today, financial technology is creating new ways to move and manage money faster and more efficiently. Real Estate and Blockchain: Blockchain can help real estate owners unlock cash from their properties without selling them. Tokenization allows owners to access liquidity while still collecting rent. Bitcoin as a Measuring Tool: Bitcoin can be used as a benchmark to measure value. Because it is limited in supply and not controlled by governments, many people see it as a way to protect and grow wealth over time. Rethinking Investing: Traditional investing rules don't always work in a changing world. Investors need to think differently, stay flexible, and learn new tools to keep up with the evolving financial system.

Ben Lakoff and Arnav Pagidyala from Bankless Ventures lay out how they're thinking about crypto investing heading into 2026. The conversation spans four persistent pillars of every cycle: DeFi, tokenization, capital formation, and speculation and how each is evolving as crypto matures. Topics include the next wave of on-chain lending, equity perps, DeFi neobanks, verticalized tokenization platforms, compliant ICOs, prediction and opinion markets, and where AI agents may reshape crypto-native finance. A candid look at what's investable now, what's changing, and how Bankless Ventures is underwriting the next cycle. ------

In this episode, Lex speaks with Gracy Chen - Bitget's CEO, who transitioned from a fintech entrepreneur to leading one of the top five global crypto exchanges. Bitget processes $10–20 billion in daily trading volume and serves 120 million users across centralized and decentralized platforms. Its geographic base is mostly in Asia, but it's expanding into Europe through regulatory compliance and new products like tokenized US stocks, which have already surpassed $20 billion in trading volume.Bitget differentiates through security features, including a $600 million protection fund, and user acquisition via both brand campaigns (e.g. Messi sponsorship) and local affiliate (KOL) marketing. Looking ahead, Bitget aims to move beyond crypto-native assets toward mass adoption, focusing on product-market fit and offering tokenized real-world assets and enterprise services.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Bitget Is Transitioning Toward Regulatory Compliance and Tokenized AssetsBitget, historically an offshore crypto exchange, is shifting to a compliance-first strategy in key markets like Europe (e.g., under MiCA). It's also diversifying its product offering beyond altcoins, including tokenized US stocks and forex, which have already generated $20B in trading volume. This reflects a broader industry trend where crypto platforms aim to integrate with traditional finance and support real-world assets (RWAs).Bitget's User Acquisition Combines Web2 Financial Discipline with Web3 Community TacticsBitget uses a hybrid marketing approach: brand partnerships like the Leo Messi campaign and grassroots affiliate marketing via KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) who earn volume-based rebates. Additionally, local teams are given budget control and tailor acquisition strategies per market. This decentralized yet data-informed model mimics Web2 CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) analysis while leveraging crypto-native community dynamics.Exchanges Are Struggling with Unsustainable Token Launch ModelsGracy Chen criticizes the crypto industry's overreliance on speculative “narrative-driven” token launches, noting that even well-funded tokens often fail without real product-market fit. Bitget is responding by requiring more tangible utility and sustainability from listed projects and aims to balance value across users, exchanges, and project teams through mechanisms like airdrop campaigns and launch pools with

New infrastructure primitives are creating entirely new rails for building.In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore three foundational shifts that unlock new markets and workflows, not through incremental upgrades, but through primitives that compound over time.First, programmable money evolves beyond stablecoins into on-chain credit origination and synthetic financial products, offering lower operational costs and greater composability than traditional finance. Second, autonomy begins entering scientific research through collaborative labs, where AI reasoning models work alongside automation and robotics, and interpretability becomes essential for progress. Third, distribution itself becomes a primitive, as AI-native startups win early by selling to other startups at formation, then scale alongside the next generation of companies.You will hear from Guy Willette on the next phase of on-chain finance, Oliver Shu on autonomous labs and AI-assisted discovery, and James da Costa on the greenfield go-to-market strategy.Together, these ideas define what new infrastructure primitives really mean: the rails that enable entirely new systems to emerge, compound, and scale.
