Today, I’m talking with Vlad Tenev, the cofounder and CEO of Robinhood, which is one of the most well-known consumer finance apps in the world. It started as a way to open up stock trading, but the company’s ambitions have grown over time — and they’re getting even bigger. Just a day before Tenev and I talked, Robinhood announced it would soon be offering bank accounts and wealth management services, which would allow Robinhood to be involved with your money at every possible level. So I was i

The Nasdaq Composite climbed more than 12% for its second best day ever as markets clawed back after a rocky few trading sessions spurred by President Donald Trump's wide sweeping tariffs.

Stocks skyrocketed across the board Wednesday after Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for some countries. It followed multiple days of selling after the president's aggressive tariff plans rattled global m

Imagine this: One day on a walk in your neighborhood, you see several men in construction gear. “What are you guys up to?” you ask. “We’re rebuilding this dilapidated house!” the group’s leader responds. “It used to be beautiful, but the previous owners let it fall into disrepair.” Admittedly, the home has been an eyesore for years. But as you watch the contractors at work, confusion and alarm set in. One guy is hauling furniture out of the living room and setting it on fire in the driveway. An

Billing itself as “Stripe for emerging markets,” Turkish Fintech Sipay has raised a $78 million Series B funding round, claiming a valuation of $875 million in the process. This round is significant, as Sipay plans to expand into markets outside of Turkey, offering additional services like remittances that Stripe currently does not offer in those regions.

Tesla released some terrible news about sales this morning, but then a funny thing happened: after an initial crash, its stock started to rise significantly. Why? Well, it seems a lot like it has to do with a Politico story reporting, per three unnamed insiders, that president Donald Trump had been telling confidantes of Musk's upcoming departure in a few months — purportedly to focus on his many businesses, and not because he can't get security clearance due to drug use. Though both the White

TL;DR: Solar power has become the cheapest source of new electricity generation in many parts of the U.S., but adoption depends heavily on market structure. Deregulated markets, where entrepreneurs and independent power producers can directly pursue profitable opportunities, have rapidly embraced solar, while regulated utilities remain slow to change due to legacy investments and bureaucratic oversight.

Although some Reddit users who commented on the photo of the scales were positive with one saying "they are 10x more convenient and faster", many were more critical of their introduction. "More and more the honest shopper is treated like a thief," one said, while another wrote "the point of all this is to save on staff". Business retail consultant Ged Futter told the BBC this was about loss prevention and staffing costs. "There is no way this is about making it quicker for the shopper. It's s

TL;DR Google has confirmed to Android Authority that it will not launch the Google TV Streamer in multiple key markets where the Pixel portfolio is already present.

Google replaced the Chromecast with Google TV with the Google TV Streamer in September. However, the new and improved streaming device isn’t a

The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) has come into force, and it’s meant that some of the world’s biggest tech companies are having to make major changes to how they operate. The law, which is designed to increase competition in the EU’s digital markets, designates some large online companies and their services as “gatekeepers.” Those that have received the gatekeeper designation — the companies on the list are Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft — have to meet str
