Multiple states and other public-sector organizations have approached Robinhood about creating their own versions of “Trump accounts” for newborns, CFO Shiv Verma said.
The outreach centers on setting up early investment vehicles for children, using the White House initiative as a template for state-run or public-backed programs.
Robinhood said the model could also be adopted by nonprofits and government agencies looking to build new savings programs or update existing ones.
