$HOOD » CEO @VladTenev on changing accredited investor rules to self-certification: “Personally, I think it should be pretty close to self-certification. If you say to me, ‘I understand the risks. I understand I could lose all my money,’ and we put a skull and crossbones saying, ‘This is very, very dangerous,’ you should be able to invest in a company like @SpaceX or @OpenAI. And particularly in a world where you can invest in your choice of crypto asset relatively freely and in a very unrestricted way, I think something has to give. It’s just a kind of nonsensical status quo.”

“This [@TrumpAccounts] is the difference between @POTUS's idea for America, which is empowering individuals, and Mamdani and Bernie's idea for America, which is more control, more centralized and dependency control from government, which we reject.” – @altcap

Four generations of my family worked hard and had nothing to show for it on paper — no savings, no portfolio, just grit passed down. Grateful @RapidResponse47 helped put that story in front of more people, because Trump Accounts are the first policy I’ve seen actually try to change that math for kids like mine.

$HOOD: “They also become more civic-minded. They develop an appreciation for great American industries. They become more financially literate, and they understand just how amazing the free market system we have here in this country is.” – @VladTenev

$HOOD » CEO @VladTenev on aspiring to build the best government product ever: “Our aspiration is to make this [@TrumpAccounts] the best product the government has ever been associated with. And I know, with the National Design Studio (@ndstudio), they feel the same. Those guys, in concert with our team, have been cranking through the weekends because, like you mentioned, the government hasn’t always had the reputation for rolling out great consumer products. I think this time will be different, and this administration in particular, with its care toward design, is really approaching it very differently than the government has in the past.”

$HOOD: “I believe that the future of crypto is in real-world assets.” “If an asset is not tied to underlying utility, if it's not a productive asset, what's the benefit of making another million different meme coins?” “What drives crypto growth will be real assets with fundamental utility utilizing crypto technology.” – @VladTenev

“This is not a program. This is a platform [@TrumpAccounts]. It is the largest unlock of direct philanthropy in the history of the country.” – @altcap
