HOOD Summit: the villain becomes a cat

On 29 September 2026, at Robinhood's HOOD Summit keynote in Houston (live 6:15pm to 7:34pm ET), Vlad Tenev played the captain of the “Starship Robinhood”, announced 24/7 stock trading, and the on-screen villain Commander Vrax turned into a cat 1:13:17 into the video; Robinhood posted “he's a cat now” at 7:29pm ET.

From the keynote video: 14:45 “I have rerouted the Starship Robinhood”; 17:44 “Every one of these stories broke on the weekend when the market was closed and no one could trade”; 18:09 “The battle is over … our 24/5 stock market will be upgraded to a 24/7 market”; 42:59, Vrax: “We have let this democratization joke go on for far too long … Surrender or prepare for a hostile takeover”; 1:13:17 “Stop it. I am not a cat. Did you do that?”; 1:16:13, a distress call about “new assets that are waiting to be tokenized”, and Vlad sets course for “the DeFi sector”. That morning at 10:12am ET Vlad congratulated Tesla and Elon Musk on an SEC no-action letter for a retail voting program Robinhood worked on.

The community's read

The community reads 1:13:17 as 113, the length in seconds of Tsuki's 4 October clip, and compares Vrax on the giant screen with Tsuki's V for Vendetta still. The community also reports two linked GME logos that day, later matched on the Mr. Wizard profile; that is not yet on the record with a link.
