Hacked CEO
Robinhood's CEO had his X account hacked to launch a meme coin, eleven days after he called memecoins "a dead end"
On July 23, 2026, attackers took over Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev's X account and posted a message presenting the Vladhood ($VLAD) token as the "official mascot" of Robinhood Chain, falsely promising it would be listed in the app. The post racked up more than 175,000 views in 20 minutes before being deleted, and the attackers pocketed around 650 ETH, between $1.2 and $1.3 million. On July 2, Tenev had told CNBC that memecoins were mostly "a dead end," assets with no real utility; six days later he was posting on social media that his own blockchain "works great for memes too," after watching a trader turn $800 into over a million dollars with the CASHCAT token.
