Robinhood Outpaces Tech Giants Meta, Amazon With $2 Million Donation To Trump's Inaugural Fund: CEO Criticizes Biden's Crypto, AI Policies
The announcement follows significant developments in tech-political relations, including Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) announced a $2 million donation to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund on Tuesday, marking the largest publically announced contribution among major tech firms.
Robinhood Markets Inc.（納斯達克：HOOD）於週二宣佈向當選總統特朗普的就職基金捐贈200萬美元，成爲主要科技公司中最大的一筆公開捐款。
What Happened: The donation, double the amount pledged by Meta Platforms Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and OpenAI, comes amid broader tech sector alignment with Trump's proposed regulatory approach.
發生了什麼：該捐贈爲Meta Platforms Inc.、Amazon.com Inc.和OpenAI承諾的金額的兩倍，正值科技板塊與特朗普提議的監管方法的更廣泛對齊之際。
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev criticized President Joe Biden's administration's "heavy-handed" regulatory stance, particularly regarding cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. "There's been open warfare against the cryptocurrency industry in America and a very anti-A.I. posture," Tenev told FOX Business.
Robinhood首席執行官弗拉德·特涅夫批評了拜登總統政府的「強硬」監管立場，特別是在數字貨幣和人工智能方面。他在接受FOX商業頻道採訪時表示：「美國的數字貨幣行業正在經歷公開的戰爭，反對人工智能的態度也非常明顯。」
The announcement follows significant developments in tech-political relations, including SoftBank Group Corp.'s commitment to invest $100 billion in U.S. technology over the next four years. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son called Trump "a double down president" while announcing the investment at Mar-a-Lago.
該聲明跟隨科技政治關係的重大進展，包括軟銀集團CORP承諾在未來四年內投資1000億美金於美國科技。軟銀首席執行官孫正義在馬阿拉歌宣佈這項投資時稱特朗普爲「加倍總統」。
Robinhood reported a 500% month-over-month increase in crypto trading from October to November, highlighting the platform's growth amid regulatory uncertainty. Tenev emphasized the need for "sensible regulation" to maintain U.S. leadership in financial innovation.
Robinhood報告稱，從10月到11月，數字貨幣交易月環比增長500%，突顯出在監管不確定性中的平台增長。特涅夫強調了「合理監管」的必要性，以維持美國在金融創新中的領導地位。
Why It Matters: The financial platform's stance aligns with recent moves by other tech leaders. Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, while Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet Inc.'s Sundar Pichai have also engaged with the president-elect.
爲什麼重要：該金融平台的立場與其他科技領袖的近期舉動一致。蘋果公司首席執行官蒂姆·庫克在馬阿拉歌與特朗普會面，而Meta的馬克·扎克伯格和Alphabet Inc.的桑達爾·皮查伊也與這位當選總統進行了接觸。
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency in Trump's administration, has been a vocal supporter of regulatory reform that could benefit technology companies.
特斯拉公司首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克將共同領導特朗普政府下的政府效率部門，他一直是支持監管改革的堅定倡導者，這可能會使科技公司受益。
"The U.S. should embrace cryptocurrency and lead in this space, much like it does in artificial intelligence," Tenev added, emphasizing the platform's commitment to democratizing finance while maintaining regulatory compliance.
「美國應該擁抱數字貨幣，並在這一領域引領潮流，就像它在人工智能領域所做的那樣，」特涅夫補充道，強調了該平台在保持監管合規的同時致力於民主化金融的承諾。
