TOKENIZATION OR DEREGULATION?

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Robinhood's push to offer tokenized exposure to private firms like OpenAI amounts to sidestepping traditional disclosure rules. Vlad Tenev (Robinhood CEO) argues it's illogical to restrict retail access to private equity while allowing zero-day options or meme coins. Matt Levine counters that letting the public buy "private" shares without public disclosure effectively erases the distinction between public and private companies, not by reforming IPO rules, but by discarding them entirely.
