Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has issued a strong call for the United States to take leadership in crypto policy, specifically urging regulators to enable widespread crypto staking for American users. In a pointed statement, Tenev highlighted how ongoing legislative gridlock continues to block one of the platform’s most requested features—staking—in four U.S. states, while European customers already enjoy advanced offerings like stock tokens.
Tenev took to X to express his frustration and advocate for change. As he posted on X: “Staking is one of the most requested features on @RobinhoodApp, but it’s still unavailable to customers in four U.S. states due to the current gridlock. Stock Tokens are available to our customers in the EU, but not in our home market. It’s time for the US to lead on crypto policy. 🇺🇸 Let’s pass legislation that protects consumers and unlocks innovation for everyone.”
The CEO reaffirmed Robinhood’s support for Congress’s market structure bill, offering assistance to key committees to push it forward. His comments come amid broader industry concerns that prolonged regulatory uncertainty is driving innovation overseas, leaving U.S. investors at a disadvantage compared to their European counterparts who benefit from clearer frameworks like MiCA.
Staking allows users to earn rewards by locking assets to support blockchain networks, a popular yield-generating tool already available on Robinhood in permitted regions and for select assets. Expanding access nationwide could significantly boost retail participation, align with consumer demand, and position the U.S. as a global leader rather than a laggard in digital asset services.
