Episode notes

This chapter covers the promotional message for the Masters of Scale Summit and delves into the GameStop stock phenomenon of early 2021, showcasing the generated wealth and the ramifications for hedge funds on platforms like Robinhood.

How will the return of meme stocks like GameStop and day trading influencers like Roaring Kitty alter the fintech landscape? Robinhood’s co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev, who was a lightning rod for controversy when meme stocks first surged in 2021, joins Rapid Response to explain what’s the same and what’s different this time around. Tenev also shares how his family’s struggles in 1990s Bulgaria shapes his view of the U.S. financial markets today, and whether trading on Robinhood is like using a sports gambling app.
