Openai wants to make it clear that “Openai Tokens” Robinhood sales do not give daily consumer fairness or stock at Openai. post X. Openai’s official newsroom account states that it does not support Robinhood’s efforts and is not involved in promoting token sales.
“These ‘Openai Tokens’ are not Openai equity,” the Openai newsroom account states. “We did not partner with Robinhood, did not engage in this, and did not support it. The transfer of OpenaiEquity requires approval. We did not approve the transfer. Please be aware.”
Openai’s statement is a response to Robinhood’s announcement earlier this week. SpaceX has begun selling so-called tokenized stocks from Openai Other private companies to the people of the European Union.
Robinhood said the launch represents an attempt to expose everyday people to the world’s most valuable private companies via blockchain, as well as to be fair. A few hours after the announcement of these token sales, Robinhood stock prices It was the best shot ever.
However, stocks from private companies such as Openai and SpaceX are not generally available. That’s why they keep them private. They sell stocks to their chosen investors.
Therefore, Openai openly denies Robinhood’s efforts.
In response to Openai’s accusations, Robinhood spokesman Rouky Diallo told TechCrunch that Openai Tokens is a part of a “limited” giveaway and a “limited” giveaway to provide indirect exposure to retail investors through “through ownership of Robinhood’s special purpose vehicle (SPV)”.
This suggests that Robinhood owns shares in SPV that manages a certain number of Openai stocks. Like tokens, shares in SPVs are not directly owned by the shares. They are ownership of the vehicle that owns the shares. In some way, Robinhood appears to be linking the price of the new tokenized product to Openai stock in its SPV. However, the stock price of the SPV is different from the actual stock price.
Openai declined to comment further. Robinhood did not respond to TechCrunch’s additional questions about SPV.

Of course, these situations are different, but most startups don’t want people to believe that they don’t approve of selling stocks.
