Robinhood offers tokenized OpenAI and SpaceX shares and AI-designed drugs

Episode Summary

In episode 20, Nish records from a tropical war zone of broken podcast gear while Michiel holds steady with TradFi tech picks and an 8 percent portfolio gain. The episode opens with Robinhood’s wild move to offer tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX, raising questions after OpenAI denied any involvement.

The hosts break down how this ties into the broader risk landscape post-SVB, with stablecoins like Tether still lacking a real audit, and USDC emerging as the safer bet. They also explore why OpenAI still can’t go public, how Microsoft quietly benefits through a revenue-sharing deal, and how Nvidia is nearing a 4 trillion dollar valuation despite a China sales ban.

One of the biggest tech stories: DeepMind has launched the first human trial of a drug designed entirely by AI, potentially compressing the pharmaceutical pipeline by years. Meanwhile, Samsung predicts a 40 percent drop in quarterly profits due to weak AI chip sales, showing the gap between AI hype and hardware reality.

In fintech, Soulflare adds stock trading with zero KYC or announcement, raising regulatory questions. And in the trading competition, Nish gets rugged again on Pump.Fun and drops to 24 dollars, while Michiel’s conservative picks push him to an 8 percent gain. The episode closes with reflections on market delusion, geopolitical risks, and a plea to the Illuminati to stop messing with their portfolios.
