Robinhood CEO calls for the U.S. to take a leading role in cryptocurrency policy.

PANews reported on January 15th that Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in a post on the X platform that staking is one of the most requested features by users on the Robinhood app; however, due to the current stalemate, customers in four US states are still unable to use this feature. Furthermore, while the stock token has been launched for EU customers, it is not yet available in the US domestic market.

Tenev stated that now is the time for the United States to take a leading role in cryptocurrency policy. He called for legislation to protect consumers while unleashing innovation for all. Robinhood supports Congress's push for market structure legislation, noting that while progress is still needed, a viable path has been identified, and expressed its willingness to assist the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee in enacting the bill.
