Vlad: Robinhood was nearly called Cash Cat

On 14 April 2021 at 1:48pm ET, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev quoted How I Built This on Robinhood's original name, Cash Cat, with a meme of Robinhood as a muscular cat beside a smaller Cash Cat.

Coinbase listed on Nasdaq the same day.

The community's read

The community reads Robinhood's cat imagery in 2026, and Tsuki being a cat, against this origin story.
