Robinhood CEO on Lighter: The products offered depend on regulation, supporting both on-chain and off-chain.

BlockBeats news, October 1: In an interview with The Rollup, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, when asked "How do you strategically consider relationships with perpetual contract platforms like Lighter?", said:

"Perpetual contracts on Robinhood Chain have indeed been very hot in recent days. Our perpetual contract trading volume has already exceeded $1 billion, and in addition there is index trading volume at the billion-dollar level.

We also have perpetual contracts through Bitstamp, which is more CeFi-oriented and centralized. With our announcement last night of launching perpetual contract products in the United States, we are connecting to Bitstamp's shared global liquidity pool. So we support on-chain perpetual contracts and also off-chain perpetual contracts. What products we offer first depends on the regulatory structure and what is permitted. I think we are also willing to offer multiple products, so we do not necessarily want there to be only one way."
