Robinhood’s stock hit record highs with its crypto token launch, but shares slid after OpenAI denied involvement, warning the tokens aren’t legitimate equity.

Robinhood stock popped this week on news that European users could trade "tokenized" stock in private companies. OpenAI distanced itself from the plan.

OpenAI said Wednesday that it does not endorse Robinhood's sale of "OpenAI tokens," noting that these are not equity in the company.
