Robinhood vs. Coinbase: Who Wins the Future of Finance? | David Rodriguez & Omar Kanji

David from Blockworks and Omar from Dragonfly join the show to debate Coinbase vs Robinhood, two companies racing to become the dominant financial super app. We break down their business models, growth strategies, tokenized asset plays, and how each is approaching crypto, equities, and infrastructure. Will Robinhood’s slick UX and expanding product suite win the next generation? Or will Coinbase’s onchain infra and stablecoin moat prove unbeatable?
