OpenAI wants to make clear that Robinhood's sale of "OpenAI tokens" will not give everyday consumers equity — or stock — in OpenAI.

OpenAI said it was not involved in Robinhood’s launch of tokenized shares in Europe, warning users the assets were issued without its approval.

OpenAI issued a firm statement Wednesday denying any affiliation with the tokenized equity tokens offered by trading platform Robinhood, emphasizing that the tokens do not represent real ownership or equity in the company.
