"And it's very different than what it was in 2020, 2021 when it was really a yolo trading platform. They've moved into credit cards with their gold cards. retirements accounts are growing like crazy. They have their gold membership, which is what you need to get one of those gold cards. So, this is actually more of a Costco business model, I think, than a lot of people realize because that membership really gets you to buy into the ecosystem. And that ecosystem continues to grow with the amount of products that they have with the offerings and they have global expansion. They're just hitting on all cylinders right now. Love what Robin Hood is doing."
Travis highlights Robinhood's strategic evolution from a pure trading platform to a diversified financial services company with a membership-driven ecosystem. He draws an analogy to the Costco model by emphasizing the growth in credit card offerings, retirement accounts, and global expansion, noting that the company is maturing beyond its earlier, riskier persona.
