Robinhood’s Q2 2025 earnings call also highlighted crypto’s changing significance, with CEO Vlad Tenev describing tokenization as “the most significant innovation in capital markets in more than ten years.” The company’s streamlined operations and emphasis on real-world asset tokenization are in step with broader industry movements.
