Robinhood CEO's Shocking Prediction On Stocks, The AI Bubble, & Gambling Controversy | Vlad Tenev

What was said

"There's been anecdotes of hedge funds that are just buying chips because they know, hey, even if I don't need this chip myself, I'll be able to resell it at a higher price. And whether something is undervalued or not kind of depends on many of these factors."

Asked about valuations, Tenev says “alarm bells have started ringing” in some sectors tied to AI demand. He cites anecdotes of hedge funds buying chips for resale, warning that speculative behaviour can distort even markets with genuine growth drivers.
