Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) CEO Vlad Tenev on Thursday warned that political conflict in Washington could derail <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage">critical crypto legislation</a>, emphasizing the need for regulatory clarity in the U.S. to realize the full potential of tokenized assets.
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/05/29/why-stablecoins-took-centerstage-at-bitcoins-largest-conference-cnbc-crypto-world.html">Speaking </a>with CNBC at the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Conference 2025, Tenev emphasized that legislative gridlock could hinder efforts to modernize U.S. financial infrastructure and create uncertainty over how crypto assets are regulated.
Tenev identified market structure legislation as a potential casualty of political infighting. 
"It's a concern," he said, referencing conflicts over regulatory jurisdiction and recent criticisms surrounding political figures&#8217; ties to crypto-related ventures. 
"You don't know which regulator you're going to be dealing with or which rules you're going to follow," he added, describing the current lack of regulatory clarity as a serious impediment to business.
Despite these concerns, Tenev noted that tokenization, especially of public and private equities, could move forward without needing congressional approval.

He suggested the SEC could enable such innovations via exemptive relief, akin to its approach with alternative trading systems decades ago. 
"We believe the SEC can just do it," he said, pointing to ongoing engagements with the SEC's crypto task force and other agencies.
He also criticized existing accreditation rules that prevent retail investors from accessing high-growth private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI, while allowing speculative investments in meme coins. Tenev advocated for self-certification frameworks to level the playing field.
Tenev argued that enabling global access to tokenized U.S. assets could strengthen American financial dominance and democratize venture capital access worldwide. 
He compared this to the international rise of stablecoins as substitutes for dollars in economies with volatile local currencies.

U.S. consumer sentiment stayed at 3-year lows in May 2025, while short-term inflation expectations surged to their highest level since 1981, according to the final report released <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">by the University of Michigan. </a>
The Consumer Sentiment Index for May 2025 came in at 52.2 points, upwardly revised from a preliminary 50.8 but unchanged from April, the survey showed. 
This ends four months of continuous declines, though the index remains at its lowest since November 2022 and 24.5% lower than it was a year ago.
The Current Economic Conditions Index dropped 1.5% month-on-month to 58.9, again the lowest since November 2022, while the Index of Consumer Expectations improved slightly to 47.9, up 1.3% from April.
Joanne Hsu, director of the Surveys of Consumers, said that while sentiment had initially dropped in early May, it &#8220;turned a corner&#8221; later in the month. 
Hsu attributed this to the temporary suspension of some tariffs on Chinese imports, which may have improved business expectations. 
Yet, the expert said these improvements were &#8220;offset by declines in current personal finances stemming from stagnating incomes throughout May.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Fears Surge To 44-Year High</h3>
Short-term inflation expectations jumped to 6.6%, up from 6.5% in April, reaching the highest level since November 1981. This reflects mounting anxiety among consumers despite relatively tame recent inflation data.
Notably, the gap between one-year inflation expectations and April's Personal Consumption Expenditures index—up just 2.1% year-over-year—stands at a historic 4.5 percentage points.
This marks the widest spread ever recorded, highlighting a severe disconnect between how Americans feel and what official data shows.
Meanwhile, long-run inflation expectations slipped to 4.2% in May from 4.4% in April, ending a rare four-month streak of increases.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Shake Off Weak Data</h3>
Despite weak sentiment and inflation worries, markets rebound during New York morning trading. 
The S&amp;P 500 – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) –&nbsp;regained the 5,900-point level, while the Nasdaq 100 held flat near record highs at 21,360.
Shares of Palantir Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) jumped 4.6%, leading tech gains. 
Meanwhile, bond markets reacted by pricing in slower economic momentum. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped to 4.91%, down sharply from last week's peak of 5.15%. The U.S. dollar also slipped.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
