you Hey, what's news listeners?
It's Sunday, July 13th.
I'm Luke Vargas for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News Sunday,
the show where we tackle the big questions about the biggest stories in the news by reaching out to our colleagues across the newsroom to help explain what's happening in our world.
This week,
with President Trump eager to promote the U.S. as the crypto capital of the world and the House Financial Services Committee in the coming days considering several bits of crypto regulation,
the industry has the wind at its back and is racing to see how far a friendly regulatory environment can carry it.
Brokerage Robinhood is helping lead the charge
as it pursues a rapid expansion into new markets and product areas as part of its CEO Vlad Tenev's vision of crypto serving as the rails of global finance.
We'll discuss that vision and more.
Without further ado, I want to introduce Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev.
Vlad, thank you so much for being with us on What's News.
Much obliged.
Thank you for having me.
Over here on my side of the table,
I'm joined by Wall Street Journal Markets reporter Caitlin McCabe,
who covers hedge funds now, but before that, reported on Robinhood and on individual investors.
Caitlin, pleasure.
Thank you for joining us.
Thanks for having me.
