In episode 5, Jonathan Stern hosts Devin Ryan, head of financial technology research at Citizens and lead analyst on Robinhood, who carries a market outperform rating and a $155 PT. Ryan gives Robinhood's record Q2 a grade of A-minus. The heart of the conversation is agentic finance: Ryan expects agents running direct indexing, rebalancing, and tax-loss harvesting to multiply retail notional volume by at least 10x, with rate-per-trade compressing much as commissions did after 1975 while early movers take share. He lays out the super app thesis, talks Robinhood vs. SoFi, and discusses the tokenization and ARPU math that could carry Robinhood toward $40-50B of revenue and a $500B+ valuation within a decade. The conversation closes on prediction markets as an emerging asset class far bigger than sports, the CFTC vs. states fight and the gambling optics, and what the biggest bear case is today.
