Odaily News - Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev directly addressed AMC's criticism in a recent interview, stating that once a public company's stock begins trading publicly, other financial institutions should have the right to issue related financial products around those stocks without needing prior permission from the stock issuer.Vlad Tenev said that publicly traded stocks are essentially transferable property held by shareholders, and therefore other financial institutions should be able to launch financial products referencing such stocks without obtaining permission from the issuer. He specifically noted that the stock tokens offered by Robinhood are issued by independent entities and backed by the corresponding underlying stocks, so prior consent from the relevant listed companies should not be automatically required.AMC CEO Adam Aron previously criticized Robinhood's tokenization of AMC stock, arguing that the move bypasses the issuing company and disrupts the traditional relationship between the company and its shareholders, noting that token holders do not possess voting rights in the underlying stock. As for how Robinhood intends to exercise the voting rights attached to the underlying stock, Adam Aron said the company has not yet disclosed a specific plan. (CNBC)
Odaily News, Bonk Guy stated on the X platform that he had previously been pessimistic about Solana, even writing an analysis favoring Robinhood and BNB Chain, arguing that Solana would lose significant market share and attention in this cycle. However, his view has recently begun to shift toward a bullish stance on Solana and its ecosystem.Bonk Guy believes that Solana has recently re-embraced the "trench" culture and has started to more actively promote community projects. At the same time, Solana's management proactively reached out to him to understand how to better align with the community and the "trench" ecosystem. Additionally, Solana officials and core members have recently begun to proactively recognize ecosystem projects such as $STONK and $USELESS.These changes are not simply positive for a specific token, but rather reflect a top-down cultural shift within Solana, as well as management's proactive efforts to address issues in the ecosystem. He emphasized that his past criticism of Solana was never about the technology or infrastructure, but rather about the ecosystem culture and the impact of "extractors" on Solana's new projects and users.Bonk Guy also revealed that his originally planned long-form analysis, which was bearish on Solana and bullish on Robinhood and BNB Chain, will first be shared with the Solana team for reference. Due to the recent changes that have made him more optimistic, he may adjust his views and ultimately publish a more balanced analysis.Bonk Guy concluded: "My Solana bias is changing."

Trader Bonk Guy (Unipcs) posted that he has long considered USELESS to be this cycle's equivalent to DOGE, SHIB, or PEPE, yet many continue to disregard it. He noted that South Korea's two major centralized exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, listed USELESS just hours apart today, granting it a major new distribution channel from one of the world's key crypto markets. Bonk Guy further emphasized that attention should remain on whether USELESS will be listed on Hyperliquid, Robinhood, or Binance Spot next. He argued that instead of debating whether USELESS will emerge as this cycle's flagship memecoin, focus should shift to how high its price can potentially reach, as the underlying pattern is becoming increasingly clear. He also noted that investors can either accumulate USELESS now or wait until its market cap reaches several billion dollars, perceiving that stage as "safer".
