Speaking of prediction markets, Robinhood—a big player in the field—has no plans to build its own. CEO says they are a commodity service it can license and that distribution is key. If true, what does that mean for valuation of Kalshi and Polymarket? https://t.co/gyvzecSwkJ

CEO Vlad Tenev said Robinhood's distribution channels mean it can rely of partner firms like Kalshi to supply prediction market exchanges.

Shocked, shocked to see wash trading on Polymarket. (Fortune's @leomschwartz reported this a year ago!)
Study: Polymarket's trading volume has been artificially inflated by wash trading, accounting for 25% of all buying and selling over the past three years (@ellebeyoud / Bloomberg) https://t.co/6GWpXAesuQ

.@RobinhoodApp is mixing it up by doing Q3 earnings call live from the Chase Center. To their credit, they're talking questions from journalists and not just the "hey, great quarter guys!" analysts

You guys, we have got to focus more on teaching civics in this country. 😆
We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.

Appeal proceedings aren't cheap. Where is SBF getting the funds to pay for this? Is it coming from the $10M he paid his dad from FTX customer money?
Everybody was out to get Sam Bankman-Fried after the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange in 2022. At least that’s what his lawyers told an appeals court Tuesday as the FTX co-founder seeks to reverse his fraud conviction and 25-year prison sentence.

Black woman who was kicked out of a Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles because she complained about a man using the women’s locker room. Good for this woman and shame on Gold’s Gym. She should sue both the man and the gym.
BREAKING - A Gold’s Gym in the Bronx is under fire after staff revoked a woman’s membership and escorted her out with police after she bravely confronted a man pretending to be a woman in the women’s locker room. You know what to do.
