PANews reported on November 6th, citing Cointelegraph, that Robinhood's Vice President of Finance and Strategy, Shiv Verma, addressed the company's decision regarding the purchase and holding of cryptocurrencies during Wednesday's Q3 earnings call. He stated that the company has been considering this for a long time. As a significant player in the crypto space, they want to align with the community and welcome active customer participation, but they need to weigh shareholder interests. Including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin on the balance sheet, while strengthening community identity, would tie up capital, and the company currently has priorities such as developing new products and engineering investments. Furthermore, shareholders can trade cryptocurrencies directly on the platform, and the company should not make decisions on their behalf. Management is still debating the pros and cons and has not yet made a final decision, but will continue to monitor market dynamics, seeking a balance between aligning with the community and improving capital efficiency, and carefully assessing the long-term impact of this choice on the company.PANews reported on November 6th, citing Cointelegraph, that Robinhood's Vice President of Finance and Strategy, Shiv Verma, addressed the company's decision regarding the purchase and holding of cryptocurrencies during Wednesday's Q3 earnings call.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future
The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
