TechFlow news, on July 3, OpenAI officially issued a statement through its press room, clearly stating that so-called "OpenAI tokens" are not company equity, and the company has not established any partnership with Robinhood nor participated in or endorsed related projects. OpenAI emphasized that any transfer of company equity must receive official approval, and currently no such transactions have been approved by the company, urging the public to remain vigilant.
Previously, Robinhood EU announced the launch of the world's first tokenized products for shares in private companies, claiming to include well-known private firms such as OpenAI and SpaceX. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that although these tokens do not technically constitute actual equity, they could provide retail investors with access to private assets, calling this merely an initial attempt by the company.
