According to market news from Odaily Planet Daily: Robinhood US will launch CRV.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD) plans to launch "Robinhood Ventures Fund I," a publicly traded fund offering US retail investors access to private companies. CEO Vlad Tenev stated that for decades, wealthy individuals and institutions have been able to invest in private companies, while retail investors have been shut out. The new fund will allow ordinary people to access investment opportunities once reserved for the elite. Previously, Robinhood allowed EU users to purchase tokenized shares tracking well-known private companies such as OpenAI. This new fund, focused on the US market, will make long-term investments through IPOs and subsequent phases, targeting multiple industries. Robinhood noted that investment opportunities have shrunk in recent years, with the number of US public companies falling from approximately 7,000 in 2000 to approximately 4,000 in 2024, while the number and value of private companies have increased, exceeding $10 trillion in total. Robinhood has submitted a registration statement to the US SEC for the fund's public offering and hopes to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RVI. (The Block)
Robinhood (HOOD.O) announced at its annual investor conference that it will launch a social media network for investors.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, analysts at brokerage firm Bernstein pointed out in a report that Robinhood is no longer just a hub for speculative retail traders, but an emerging financial "super app" with huge room to expand its market share after being included in the S&P 500 index. Bernstein estimates that Robinhood controls 12% of the US stock and cryptocurrency retail trading revenue market, compared to just 7% two years ago. Its spot stock trading market share has risen from 2.8% in 2023 to 5.5% in 2025, while its stock options dominance has more than doubled since 2023, accounting for 24% of retail trading volume. Therefore, its stock rating is considered to be "outperform" with a target price of $160. (The Block)
