Ear – Fifteen years after flipping the burger on one McDonald’sTeach yourself to code yourself at night in a tight apartment near French Riviera, Robin Johan Kerbrate, head of Crypto, is back.

The last time he lived around Cannes, he was 21 years old – there was no connection, no funding, and no formal business training. But he had a habit for programming and a drive to solve the problems of the real world.

Kerbrate, who is now in Robinhood at Senior Vice President and Crypto GM, quit his job just before starting the university in a nearby Nice, and soon launched his first Fintech Startup: A No-Code Payment Company made from Scratch, which was made from scratch, to help small traders to help the small traders to make the developers on work.

“It was in my small studio – maybe younger than your bathroom,” he said. “Initially, we had no employee, but it was correct at the beginning of e-commerce. Back, if you were a businessman, you had not really an option, you had to appoint an agency and spend tens of thousand euros. The idea was that people had to allow people to make their things without any technical knowledge-what is doing what is doing now.”

But the time was right. In the beginning of 2010, online commerce came up with a bounce, and the cars equipment gave small traders a chance to compete. It also opened its eyes how delicate and expensive the global financial system was.

A Greece classmate told him how his family’s bank accounts were generated during the Eurozone crisis. At the same time, traders using their platform were struggling with high fees, chargebacks and frauds. And then Bitcoin The white paper landed.

“I was so,” well, this is a solution for everything, “he said

Now, from Château de la Croix des Gardes, a Belle époque Mansion placed along the same beach where he lived once and worked in the night shift in fast food, he is part of the most ambitious crypto product suit in Robinhood history.

On Monday, the company announced an extended offer of token US shares and ETFs across Europe, crypto stacking in the US, always futures for qualified European Union traders, and a new layer 2 blockchain adapted to real -world asset disposal and 24/7 trading.

“It’s absolutely real,” Carbrate said, the prestigious Carlton is sitting inside the hotel-a five-star landmark that was felt out of reach once. “When I was younger, I used to move forward from this place – and I could never live here.”

The announcement matches the ear to the ear For the first time, and the latest regulator of Robinhood in Europe.

Robinhood’s latest step is the most serious push to mix traditional finance with blockchain-based infrastructure.

After the announcements, the shares have reached a record high level and this year is more than 100%.

Carbrate said that the target is not dazzling with facilities. This is to disappear Crypto in the background. He compared it to plumbing.

“You don’t think about how the water goes to your tap,” he said. “You just hope that it will be there.”

But there is still plumbing to the construction.

American stock and ETF are token at the center of Monday’s launch, which is now available to customers in 30 European Union and European Economic Zone countries. Tokens – First arbitrariness – offer 24/5 access, dividend support and zero commission or spread from Robinhood. Eventually, they will migrate into a custom layer 2 blockchain, which is designed to support the assets of tokens, seamless bizing and self-custody.

In America, debut for Robinhood Ethereum And Solana, allows users to earn the award by supporting network operations. In Europe, Crypto will always offer eligible users up to 3x leverage rooted through futures bitstamps. Other upgrade includes smart exchange routing, tax lot management and advanced charting tools – all are designed to make Crypto comfortable and intuitive as trading stocks.

“When we talk about mass adoption, Kerbrate said,” This is what it looks. A product people use – without the need to know how it works. “

For cars, who spent their adolescence between ear and nice, return is not just symbolic. This is a measure of how far he has come – and no matter how much it feels.

His father worked in it. His mother stayed at home with her and her sister. One day, his father brought an old old Apple computer home with a black and white screen and she was a spark. By 7, he was experimenting. By 11, he was doing regular programming. And by 17, he was already trying to fix the broken parts of the Internet economy that he had seen around him.

Their parents, who are now inland, went in some time to see the launch. They recall the early days, he said that-he said-Chhota apartments, the first lines of the code, endless conversations with the traders who did not believe their pitch-how one knows the code can build a site without an e-commerce site.

“We chose the ear due to licensing, and because the conference was here,” he said. “But I am not showing that it doesn’t look good.”

He stopped, so that the moment could be resolved.

“I never thought I would come back here like this.”
