Why Robinhood's CEO Touted Tokenization 11 Times on Its Q2 Earning Call
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev referenced tokenization nearly a dozen times during the company's second-quarter earnings broadcast on Wednesday, highlighting how the once-esoteric term is becoming a cornerstone of the retail brokerage's crypto strategy. In total, Tenev referenced tokenization 11 times, while also mentioning Robinhood's stock tokens on a handful of occasions. The digital assets, which offer synthetic exposure to private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI, were unveiled for European users in June, alongside company ambitions to build its own Ethereum layer-2 scaling network. During the hour-long broadcast, Tenev invoked tokenization within five minutes, a term used to describe the process of representing real-world assets using tokens on a blockchain. In some ways, the episode mirrored Facebook parent Meta's pivot away from the metaverse in 2023, when CEO Mark Zuckerberg referenced artificial intelligence 20 times on an earnings broadcast. Tenev described tokenization as 'the biggest innovation in capital markets in over a decade,' saying investors will benefit from 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and self custody. Robinhood can make 'all sorts of assets' accessible for users that weren't feasible before, he said. Robinhood's stock price has nearly tripled this year, rising 179% year-to-date to $104 on Thursday, according to Yahoo Finance. Despite a cooldown in crypto trading revenue, the firm posted stronger-than-expected sales and profits in the second quarter. Crypto exchanges Binance and now-defunct FTX dabbled in tokenized stock trading during the pandemic-era crypto boom, but the umbrella term faded into obscurity amid regulatory heat until BlackRock CEO Larry Fink touted tokenization as 'the next generation for markets' in 2022. Now, with the SEC committed to advancing tokenization frameworks under a crypto-friendly White House, Robinhood is positioning itself as a major player in the space, and one that could potentially benefit from the same regulatory tailwinds as crypto-native firms for years to come. Robinhood CEO Acknowledges OpenAI Crypto Stock 'Controversy'—But Is Doubling Down Asked by an analyst for feedback that Robinhood is getting on tokenizing private assets, Tenev said that it's addressed a mainstream criticism toward digital assets, namely the claim that they're not tied to anything with "fundamental utility' and are ephemeral like memes. Aside from customers' apparent demand for stock tokens, Tenev said the product's rollout demonstrated 'the power of crypto technology and show[ed] a roadmap to what Robinhood could be if it was rebuilt from the ground up on crypto rails.' But not everyone was satisfied with Robinhood's stock tokens, including OpenAI, which slammed the product as an unauthorized attempt to tokenize its equity. Not long after, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission warned firms that their tokenized offerings must comply with securities laws, and a blockchain isn't a valid way of getting around that. Tenev told Decrypt last week that he thinks the regulator's warning was not specific to Robinhood, and on Wednesday, he noted that 'some things need to happen' regulatory-wise to unlock tokenization's true potential, including a look at investor accreditation laws. At the end of the day, Robinhood said that it's still in the first phase of its tokenization strategy, which involves creating a sustainable supply of stock tokens. The second phase will involve getting the tokens to trade on Bitstamp, a crypto exchange that Robinhood acquired this year. Phase three, Tenev said, will allow users to plug stock tokens into decentralized finance, or DeFi protocols. DeFi applications allow users to self-custody their assets and transact natively on blockchain networks. 'We have the technical capabilities to do all of this,' he said. 'It's just a question of going through the regulatory process, and we think that's basically the optimal path.' Robinhood did not immediately respond to Decrypt.

Infoline Tec Group Berhad's (KLSE:INFOTEC) Conservative Accounting Might Explain Soft Earnings
The market for Infoline Tec Group Berhad's (KLSE:INFOTEC) shares didn't move much after it posted weak earnings recently. We did some digging, and we believe the earnings are stronger than they seem. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. A Closer Look At Infoline Tec Group Berhad's Earnings In high finance, the key ratio used to measure how well a company converts reported profits into free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio (from cashflow). The accrual ratio subtracts the FCF from the profit for a given period, and divides the result by the average operating assets of the company over that time. You could think of the accrual ratio from cashflow as the 'non-FCF profit ratio'. That means a negative accrual ratio is a good thing, because it shows that the company is bringing in more free cash flow than its profit would suggest. While it's not a problem to have a positive accrual ratio, indicating a certain level of non-cash profits, a high accrual ratio is arguably a bad thing, because it indicates paper profits are not matched by cash flow. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking. Infoline Tec Group Berhad has an accrual ratio of -0.25 for the year to March 2025. Therefore, its statutory earnings were very significantly less than its free cashflow. In fact, it had free cash flow of RM23m in the last year, which was a lot more than its statutory profit of RM14.3m. Notably, Infoline Tec Group Berhad had negative free cash flow last year, so the RM23m it produced this year was a welcome improvement. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Infoline Tec Group Berhad. Our Take On Infoline Tec Group Berhad's Profit Performance Happily for shareholders, Infoline Tec Group Berhad produced plenty of free cash flow to back up its statutory profit numbers. Because of this, we think Infoline Tec Group Berhad's underlying earnings potential is as good as, or possibly even better, than the statutory profit makes it seem! And on top of that, its earnings per share have grown at an extremely impressive rate over the last three years. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. For example, we've discovered 4 warning signs that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Infoline Tec Group Berhad. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Infoline Tec Group Berhad's profit.
