Host says Robinhood Chain stock-token premium collapsed after issuer minted new tokens

Crypto Is About To Short Squeeze Wall Street (GameStop 2.0)
"So, what happened Monday morning with him? Well, the issuer minted about a thousand new tokens. That's it. a thousand. The premium collapsed in minutes. Within two hours, the 4x premium was gone entirely."
The host says a weekend price dislocation in a Robinhood Chain tokenised stock (described as tokenised HIMS) faded quickly once markets reopened and additional tokens were minted. In the segment, the host says the issuer minted “about a thousand” new tokens on Monday morning, after which the on-chain premium “collapsed in minutes”, and adds that over roughly two days the on-chain float expanded by about 4.8 times. The host argues this suggests the much-hyped “GameStop 2.0” squeeze narrative is overstated at current scale, with the main impact falling on on-chain traders rather than forcing a sustained squeeze in the underlying listed shares.
