Vlad Tenev, CEO of financial asset trading platform Robinhood, believes that tokenization is not a passing fad, but part of what he calls a “supercycle.” This was said during a conference call with shareholders held to report the company’s balance sheet on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
During the call, the businessman asserted that his company is well-positioned to lead the future wave of tokenization. Tenev, who was subsequently consulted by Fortune, said that the tokenization process was destructive; It creates value for both investors and the financial industry as a whole.
According to Tenev’s hypothesis, this supercycle could last several years.. It was originally intended to expand outside the United States and provide investors in other countries with access to U.S. stocks.
According to the businessman, such global growth means: Encourage the U.S. financial system to join the wave And regulators will encourage its expansion.
Tenev’s ideas dovetail with recent news published by CriptoNoticias about the growth of this space. For example, on May 1st of this year, it was reported that: Argentina’s National Securities Commission proposes improvements to tokenization regulations Leverage real-world assets and expand your reach.
And a few days ago, in an interview with this information portal, Ignacio Aguirre Franco, CMO of Bitget, asserted that “tokenization is not just a fad, it solves real problems.”
In addition to opening borders, Bitget executives explain that tokenization also solves the time limit issue. “If you want to trade stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, you can do so from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, but if you want to sell stocks on the weekend, the market is not open. On the other hand, with tokenization, this market will operate 24/7, eliminating the downtime of analog finance,” he explained.
