Edwin Mata: Robinhood vs AMC Tokenized Stock, plus Erin Gambrel

Brickken CEO and co-founder Edwin Mata, a former M&A lawyer, explains why Robinhood tokenizing $AMC without AMC's permission creates a synthetic product rather than real stock, and why he expects financial systems to run on blockchain by 2030. In the second segment, Erin Gambrel, known as The Blonde Broker and now VP of financial services at Corgi, talks about Corgi Invest's ETF lineup, the Bitcoin four-year cycle, and AI tools for retail traders.
