- Robinhood CEO: Plans to increase stock tokens to thousands, next step is 'private stock tokens'BlockBeats news, October 1st, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, in an interview with The Rollup, responded to the question about "the development plan for stock tokens," stating: "The first thing is to expand the range of options. We currently have about 200 stock tokens, and we need to increase that to thousands. Additionally, I've been talking about private stock tokens for some time, so yes, we've figured out how to do it. You should expect this to appear on a large scale. In fact, through our work at Robinhood Ventures, we are building great relationships with private companies here. Through our work as underwriters, we help them as they think about their retail strategy for going public."
- Robinhood CEO on Lighter: The products offered depend on regulation, supporting both on-chain and off-chain.BlockBeats news, October 1: In an interview with The Rollup, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, when asked "How do you strategically consider relationships with perpetual contract platforms like Lighter?", said: "Perpetual contracts on Robinhood Chain have indeed been very hot in recent days. Our perpetual contract trading volume has already exceeded $1 billion, and in addition there is index trading volume at the billion-dollar level. We also have perpetual contracts through Bitstamp, which is more CeFi-oriented and centralized. With our announcement last night of launching perpetual contract products in the United States, we are connecting to Bitstamp's shared global liquidity pool. So we support on-chain perpetual contracts and also off-chain perpetual contracts. What products we offer first depends on the regulatory structure and what is permitted. I think we are also willing to offer multiple products, so we do not necessarily want there to be only one way."

- US-Iran negotiations reach an impasse; Rubio issues a "leave" order to the Iranian delegation.BlockBeats news, October 1st, according to AXIOS, a U.S. official and another informed source revealed that after U.S.-Iran negotiations were obstructed, Rubio on Monday demanded that the Iranian delegation to the United Nations leave the United States immediately. Although the Iranian delegation was already likely to leave the United States soon, Rubio's move was a rare diplomatic rebuke and also highlighted the deep-rooted distrust between the United States and Iran at a time when mediation to end the war has long yielded no results. Qatari mediators had previously tried to push for a breakthrough in U.S.-Iran diplomacy, but made little progress, with neither side willing to make concessions. The Iranian officials asked to leave New York included Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi. A U.S. official said: "Rubio at the time demanded that the Iranian delegation leave, saying they had overstayed. The United Nations General Assembly has ended, and it is time for them to leave." The Iranian delegation, including Araghchi, went to the airport several hours later and at 1:20 a.m. local time on Tuesday boarded a flight from New York to Doha.
