It is currently unclear which specific regulatory agency completed this approval, but the relevant regulation of the IPO process typically involves the FINRA and the SEC.This move represents a further upgrade based on Robinhood's existing IPO Access business. Through IPO Access, Robinhood users can participate in subscribing to shares of companies about to go public. The underwriter, however, assumes a more core role, not only assisting private companies in completing the listing process but also acting as an intermediary between the issuer and investors.

According to The Information, as AI unicorns continue to attract massive capital inflows, venture capital (VC) firms are accelerating their fundraising efforts at an unprecedented pace. Founders Fund has already launched a new $6 billion fund this year to invest in late-stage growth companies—the first time in the firm’s 20-year history that it has raised capital from limited partners (LPs) less than two years after its previous fundraise. Reportedly, Founders Fund’s $4.6 billion fund raised in 2025 has been largely deployed, with capital allocated primarily across seven standout companies—averaging $600 million per investment—including AI and tech leaders such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Ramp, and Cognition. Market observers believe that the sustained heating of the generative AI sector, coupled with surging funding needs among top AI companies, is propelling the global venture capital industry into a new fundraising and investment cycle—and driving large funds to deploy and replenish capital at an unprecedented speed.
According to CoinDesk, Wall Street brokerage Bernstein released a research report stating that the primary driver behind Bitcoin’s price weakness in 2026 will be slowing capital flows—not the quantum computing threat feared by the market. The report notes that Bitcoin treasury companies and ETFs combined attracted approximately $12 billion in inflows this year, a sharp decline from $60 billion in 2025; meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs—holding $75 billion in assets—recorded roughly $2.6 billion in net outflows, with new demand coming mainly from corporate buyers such as MicroStrategy (MSTR). Bernstein analysts attribute the slowdown in capital flows to retail investors’ massive shift into AI-related assets. This year, the strongest-performing segments of the crypto market have been tokenized equities and commodities. Nevertheless, analysts view the ETF outflows as relatively moderate. Bitcoin’s investor base has evolved from one dominated by retail participants to a more diversified group—including ETFs, corporate treasuries, wealth management platforms, pension funds, and sovereign investors—resulting in a healthier market structure. The long-term value-storage thesis for Bitcoin remains intact.
