Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has pushed back against AMC’s Aron as a dispute over stock-referenced tokens intensifies. Speaking to CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday, Tenev said public companies should not have the power to veto securities created by third parties that reference their shares. His comments add to the growing disagreement over how such products should be developed and offered. The remarks were reported by CoinDesk on September 9, 2026. The dispute centers on the role of publicly traded companies in approving or blocking third-party securities linked to their stock, but the supplied report does not provide further details on AMC’s response or any regulatory action. Tenev’s position places the question of issuer control at the center of the debate surrounding stock tokens.
