Vlad Action Figure Parody

This is the biggest Robinhood lore: the Vlad Tenev action figure. They're using the action figure to create memes and promote their company in a fun way. > 8 posts on X about it from @RobinhoodApp > 3 more post on TikTok > 4 QRT from @vladtenev 🧵 Let me share with you

And, of course, we wanted to pay the ultimate tribute to this lore, so we launched $VLAD: a token representing the CEO, memes and an army ready to achieve anything. CA: 0x5ad6fad7794f4118fa119dc6f5652f360f3b8eb5 One of our main missions is to find this action figure. Who knows? Maybe we'll launch a limited edition @vladtenev action figure!

All QRT from Vlad, one asking "wen action figure waitlist":

They kept posting until june 2024.

The first time we saw the action figure was in December 2023, then it did a come back in 2024:

@yayayayayey @RobinhoodApp @vladtenev Trying to fix, don't understand why

@VladRobinhood @RobinhoodApp @vladtenev all post unavailable? can you post it again

0x712e8b3d8d4b348f675a6e9c555abbfeb4f7844d The Meme Robinhood’s CEO Asked For Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev studied mathematics at Stanford before attending UCLA’s graduate mathematics program. One of the main reasons he chose UCLA was the opportunity to study under Terence Terry Tao, a Fields Medalist widely regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians. In an interview with Sequoia Capital, Vlad explained that Tao taught his first-year graduate analysis course. He also participated in a separate reading project with Tao. Vlad recalled that Tao once gave him a signed book to read. He jokingly said that Tao probably signed it to make sure it would be returned, but the signature instead guaranteed that Vlad would keep it forever. The book is apparently still displayed on his shelf alongside his other signed first editions. The interview also mentions that Vlad and Tao still catch up occasionally and have lunch when Vlad visits Los Angeles. So their connection is not merely that of a businessman who admires a famous mathematician. Vlad was genuinely Tao’s student, studied directly with him, and appears to have maintained contact with him afterward. Source: sequoiacap.com/podcast/traini… Vlad later co-founded Harmonic with Tudor Achim in 2023. Harmonic describes its mission as building an advanced mathematical reasoning engine, with Vlad serving as co-founder and Executive Chairman. This creates another meaningful connection: Vlad’s academic background, his time studying under Tao, and his current work on mathematical reasoning AI all belong to the same broader story. Harmonic: harmonic.fun/about/ Then, in December 2025, Vlad publicly posted: “The world needs more Terence Tao memes.” Original post: x.com/vladtenev/stat… After Robinhood Chain opened, degens took that statement literally and created a Terence Tao meme around it. At first glance, this may look like another token built from a single CEO comment. But there is a deeper chain of context behind it: Vlad’s mathematics background → studying directly under Tao → their continued relationship → the creation of Harmonic → Vlad explicitly asking for more Terence Tao memes Terence Tao himself has also spoken positively about memes. In a 2022 post, he wrote that memes can communicate mathematical relationships efficiently and memorably. He also said that he sometimes gives students an optional assignment to create math memes related to their classes. Tao’s post about mathematical memes: @tao/109411517737642478" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mathstodon.xyz/@tao/109411517… Tao discussing math-meme assignments: @tao/109411652407660995" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mathstodon.xyz/@tao/109411652… Of course, Vlad has never endorsed this specific token, and Terence Tao has no known official connection to it. However, this meme was not created from a completely random or fabricated association. It is based on a real professor-student relationship, continued personal contact, Vlad’s ongoing interest in mathematical AI, and a direct public statement asking for more Terence Tao memes. The chance of Vlad interacting with the token itself may still be very small. But unlike many narratives that depend entirely on speculation, this one has enough genuine background to make that possibility at least interesting. That combination is what makes this meme worth sharing, in my opinion. Lastly, I’d like to thank SCMC and kim_otti, members of our chat, for sharing this information with me.

@0xyukaz @yeonwoo1102 what about this, I need your honest feedback: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

@yeonwoo1102 good meme

@yeonwoo1102 Good meme too, but not at the level of this one: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

@eth_exy Buy: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

Dips on the robinhood chain are for buying

@SolSteve1450 If you like being too early, then you should check this: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

Read my bio. I’m early, sometimes too early for my own good. Called solana:EN2nnxrg8uUi6x2sJkzNPd2eT6rB9rdSoQNNaENA4RZA at 5-10k on the timeline. Now sitting at 3 million

@0xAvast Don't cry if you miss this too: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

Unbothered.

@Dprisav The most interesting meta is this: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

Things getting interesting

@goyimpnl Insanely dumb, not like this narrative: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

i mean updating the launchpad is cool but doing it in the middle of a memecoin mania with fresh vol is another thing hope it doesn’t ruin momentum

@cryptokillua99 People are too retard that they can't see this lore: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

Crypto is the only place in the world where you have so many retards make so much money

@The__Solstice Hearing that you are missing the biggest lore: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

hearing things wouldn't want to be sidelined on cash-cat:native here

@AlexisYellow A vision can take time before everyone gets it. Same with this narrative: x.com/VladRobinhood/…

Robinhood Chain reminds me of early AirBnb. About a decade ago Brian Chesky wrote an open letter to share his long-term vision with the comminity. The moment was ripe to “institutionalize your intentions so that even as you grow, you can minimize what conflicts with your vision.” The intent was twofold: 1. Build with an infinite time horizon. 2. Serve all of their stakeholders. A good reminder to think in decades, not months.

@zjbrenner Should I be listed? x.com/VladRobinhood/…

If a single token launched on Robinhood Chain gets listed on Robinhood, we see an onchain season greater than anything we’ve seen since 2024
