Ep. 735 Robinhood Crypto’s Biggest Move Yet with Head of Product Seong Lee

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Seong Lee, Head of Product at Robinhood Crypto, breaks down Robinhood’s major new crypto product announcements, including Robinhood Chain, stock tokens, Robinhood Earn, perpetual futures, and agentic trading. He explains how Robinhood Chain is being built as a permissionless L2 focused on tokenized real-world assets, giving eligible global users 24/7 on-chain exposure to U.S. stocks and ETFs. The conversation also covers how stock tokens are backed one-to-one by equities, how dividend benefits are handled through a multiplier mechanism, and why U.S. access still depends on regulatory clarity. Seong also explains Robinhood Earn, USDG, Morpho lending, crypto perpetual futures in Europe, agentic accounts, and Robinhood’s broader push to become an all-in-one finance platform.
