Why read Vlad Tenev?

Vlad is useful when you want the company's original product statement rather than a summary of it. His September 2026 Stock Tokens post says redemption and voting are coming. That wording is the specific announcement to compare with later product releases when you are following what Robinhood intends to add.

For a longer example, his 2018 letter explains order routing, market-maker rebates and the business logic behind commission-free trading. Read it as a dated explanation from the person running the company. Together, the letter and the Stock Tokens post show how he connects infrastructure choices to Robinhood's product strategy.
