【Chain Wen】Robinhood’s leader recently highlighted an industry pain point on social media — the staking feature is one of the most desired functionalities by users, yet it is hindered by current regulations. Specifically, customers in four US states are unable to access this feature. Similar issues also exist with stock tokens; EU customers have long been able to use them, while the US has yet to open up.

The CEO’s underlying message is clear: the US needs to take a firm stance on cryptocurrency policies and stop being passively reactive. He calls for relevant legislation to protect consumer rights while loosening restrictions on innovation. Robinhood firmly supports Congress pushing forward the Market Structure Bill, although the process still requires time to refine, they have already seen a feasible roadmap. Furthermore, they proactively stated their intention to work with the US House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee to advance this initiative.

In plain terms, it’s about balancing regulatory protection with innovative freedom. In the current global competition, the US must act swiftly.
