Like it went out three weeks ago. They raised – I mean, arguably it was successful in the sense they raised a lot of money into the IPO. when we've been working on this for now three or four years and Robinhood came out like a month ago.

And actually I thought it was fabulous because the biggest concern we had was that the portfolio companies would not know what to make of it. Having a public fund, having so many investors and Robinhood normalized it. Like Databricks and all of their portfolio companies have run a ramp, you know, have been endorsing it. So they, what they did for us was, was make it like acceptable among the tech industry. Mostly this is happens in tech a lot. Like I think of this as being the most important thing is that you're …”

The launch of the Fundrise Growth Tech Fund is reshaping how we view venture capital, transitioning it into the public market. While some funds like Robinhood's have faced challenges, the overall trend is towards a future where investing in private tech companies becomes mainstream. This shift could create a multi-hundred billion dollar category, bridging private and public investment markets.

“… then you're going to figure it out. And I think that's generally our thought process. Like if we get a lot of customers spending time on our product, we'll be able to make it work.

Robinhood's founders initially faced skepticism about their zero-fee model, with investors questioning how they would make money. Instead of a traditional revenue plan, they aimed to attract users first, similar to social media giants, believing they could monetize later. This strategy ultimately succeeded, leading to multiple revenue streams and a valuation of $68 billion.
“So, Johan, big milestone for Robinhood, the launch of Robinhood Chain. Tell us about this and what's the mission there? Yeah, we just launched the testnet a few weeks ago and it's been doing well. We just passed 21 million transactions on the testnet. we have multiple million smart contracts and just this weekend there was a hacker house in New York where we did a little hackathon and some of our team were there to help people and to mentor them and seeing the atmosphere and the …”

Robinhood recently launched its testnet for the Robinhood Chain, achieving over 21 million transactions, which sets the stage for revolutionizing crypto investing. The chain aims to replace traditional finance systems with tokenized assets, allowing users to trade stocks and ETFs 24/7. This innovation not only simplifies investment strategies but also opens the door for tokenizing real-world assets like real estate and art.
“… is this whole vision of the L2 roadmap, We can kind of get into how that's sort of evolving a little bit. Is this ultimately going to play out? Is Robinhood and Coinbase and traditional finance, are they going to come in, build L2s that actually have real apps and tons of users on these things that ultimately there's actually a little bit more of a value value? It's more of a win-win with some value accrual going down to the L1, which then impacts staking yields, some of the sort of ways that people think about valuing the network and just like the overall economic health of the network. That …”
“… itself, right, so that it could grow and so that we could scale via these L2s. And in doing so, they sort of like made the product better for the L2 customer, but sort of, you know, hurt themselves in the near term. And the big question is like, is this whole vision of the L2 roadmap, We can kind of get into how that's sort of evolving a little bit. Is this ultimately going to play out? Is Robinhood and Coinbase and traditional finance, are they going to come in, build L2s that actually have real apps and tons of users on these things that ultimately there's actually a little bit more of a value value? It's more of a win-win with some value accrual going down to the L1, which then impacts staking yields, some of the sort of ways that people think about valuing the network and just like the overall economic health of the network. That didn't play out. I think that played a major role in sort of the, I would say, period of somewhat disillusionment that Ethereum went through during this past bull market. So then is your explanation basically that the roadmap decisions that Ethereum made essentially caused ETH price to skip a cycle? Now, whether the next cycle will be back to being more …”

Ethereum's recent roadmap decisions may have caused it to skip a bull market cycle, as the L2 scaling solutions didn't perform as expected. While these solutions aimed to enhance the network, they inadvertently diminished the value of Ether itself, leading to disillusionment among investors. The big question remains: will future L2 developments bring value back to Ethereum, or will it continue to underperform?
“… weather that could have disrupted hiring. So it will come with certain asterisks. So we are expecting another month of small job growth. Moving on, Robinhood has entered the premium credit card wars.

Robinhood's come a long way from its start as a no-fee trading platform that was the villain of COVID's meme stock mania. In the past few years, it's tried to move past those roots and become a banking super app where users can control their …”

Robinhood is challenging American Express with a new premium credit card that offers enticing perks like 5% cash back on dining and a $250 credit for autonomous vehicle rides. This launch comes as the job market shows modest growth, with economists predicting only 60,000 new jobs added last month. As millennials mature into their financial lives, Robinhood aims to retain these users by evolving from a trading platform to a comprehensive banking solution.
“… to go up and you actually get claims on their balance sheet and their revenues so I think even if I'm on ETH or on Solana or on whatever Coinbase Robinhood maybe Galaxy they're the ones doing that and custing that and helping the institutions figure all that out so they're actually creating revenues from that and so I think crypto equities will do really well even this year as more assets come on chain and I think the DeFi protocols that provide financial services for these assets will do really well and so I'm allocating a lot heavier to the other two that I just mentioned if that makes sense …”

DeFi protocols are set to prosper as more assets transition onto blockchain platforms, despite uncertainties surrounding Ethereum's value. While Ethereum's future remains ambiguous, successful DeFi projects like Aave are positioned to benefit significantly from this shift, driving up their revenues and token values. This trend suggests that crypto equities, particularly companies like Coinbase, will also see substantial growth as they facilitate this transformation.
“… of swing for the fences here and to disrupt some pretty big players. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, we've been doing that since the beginning of Robinhood, right? Like any product that we launch has been fairly disrupting the financial system. And that's how we think about building product internally. You know, like we usually want to launch new products when we feel like we have a big differentiator, where we feel like we can actually bring a lot of value to customers. And so it's been interesting to see, you know, since last year when Vlad, our CEO, first started to talk about tokenized stocks …”

“This is not financial advice. So Ryan, yesterday we got the Robinhood earnings report. And as you know, in Q4, maybe it was even in Q3, was really when Robinhood rolled out their prediction markets product. In Q3, it was all Kalshi in the back end.
