Everyone is wondering how to be more liquid in these mega private companies. Very interesting take from Robinhood. How will they get around ROFR to scale this? I’m sure companies like Anduril, xAI, Anthropic, Stripe etc., would have a lot of interest as well.
We’re giving away the first Private Company Stock Tokens of Open AI and Space X. If you’re a Robinhood EU customer and you qualify, you are now able to claim your tokens in-app until July 7th. #RobinhoodPresents

Definitely seeing this first hand and noticing it. IKEA area looks clean again, the new administration has done many things correctly. 100 days in, let’s hope the trend continues!.
