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

Key takeaways:
- Edwin Mata believes a company has the right to choose where its stock trades, and calls Robinhood's $AMC tokens synthetic instruments for speculation.
- He says if a holder cannot claim the real underlying stock, they do not have the rights and obligations of a shareholder.
- Mata says he has zero doubts all financial systems will run on blockchain technology, citing efficiency rather than belief in crypto, with 2030 as his target.
- Brickken has been live since 2020 and more than 600 million has transacted through its software, according to Mata.
- Erin says Corgi's ETF fees are the lowest she has seen across issuers, and that she reached about 250,000 subscribers across her channels as The Blonde Broker.
