OpenAI<\/a> said on July 2 that digital tokens trading under its name on Robinhood\u2019s<\/a> new blockchain platform<\/span> do not represent OpenAI equity<\/a><\/strong> and were listed without the company\u2019s consent.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement posted on X<\/a>, the artificial intelligence developer wrote:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese \u2018OpenAI tokens\u2019 are not OpenAI equity. We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this, and do not endorse it. Any transfer of OpenAI equity requires our approval\u2014we did not approve any transfer.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The company asked investors to \u201cbe careful,\u201d highlighting that any equity movement in the private firm must be approved by its board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tokenized-stock pilot spurs confusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

OpenAI\u2019s comment follows Robinhood\u2019s June 30 event in Cannes, France, where CEO Vlad Tenev<\/a> demonstrated a tokenized stock trade for an \u201cOpenAI\u201d position on the broker\u2019s forthcoming layer-2 blockchain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Robinhood said the network, built with Arbitrum<\/a> technology, will let eligible European users trade more than 200 US equities and exchange-traded funds 24\/7 with no commissions or spreads<\/span>.\u00a0The shares will be converted <\/a><\/span>into on-chain tokens for transfer and settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The presentation helped push Robinhood\u2019s class-A shares up about 11% to a record $92, extending a month-long rally of roughly 34%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Market chatter soon began treating the demo asset as de facto OpenAI equity, despite the company remaining privately held.<\/span><\/p>\n

Push for tokenized stocks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robinhood\u2019s initiative arrives amid a broader campaign to shift conventional equities onto public blockchains.<\/span><\/p>\n

In late June, Dinari<\/span> won broker-dealer registration<\/a><\/strong> for a subsidiary, positioning it to distribute its tokenized \u201cdShares\u201d to US brokerages after completing SEC onboarding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm already issues blockchain-recorded shares to non-US users on Coinbase\u2019s Base network and states that it will settle future trades on a public chain while routing orders through registered market centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kraken<\/a> has meanwhile launched<\/span> a 24\/7 platform for tokenized US stocks<\/a><\/strong>, and Coinbase<\/a> has requested clearance from the SEC<\/span> to roll out a similar service<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Proponents contend that putting equities on-chain trims clearing fees, shrinks settlement times to near real-time, and enables continuous trading.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
