Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev Says Tokenization Could Support Always-On Markets

Tenev said traditional market hours are a legacy constraint and argued tokenization could make trading operate more continuously, similar to the internet.

Fact Check
The statement is supported in substance by Weekly Top Stories - 7/4, which summarizes Robinhood’s EthCC announcement and Vlad Tenev’s presentation as a tokenization push aimed at enabling 24/7 trading. That aligns well with the claim that Tenev argued tokenization could support always-on markets. Robinhood’s SEC filing hood-20241231 is not a direct quote source, but it is consistent with Robinhood’s broader strategy of expanding trading beyond traditional hours. However, because the provided X posts could not be fetched and no direct transcript validating the exact wording 'legacy constraint' or the comparison 'similar to the internet' was obtained, the claim cannot be confirmed verbatim. Overall, the core idea appears likely true, while the exact phrasing remains unverified.
