VRAX

$VRAX is Commander Vrax, the villain Robinhood wrote for its own keynote and then turned into a cat.

At HOOD Summit '26, Vlad Tenev played a starship captain fighting the Vrax, a fleet that preached decentralization until it wanted to control markets. In the end, the commander's face turns feline while he insists he is not a cat.

Then Robinhood settled it: "he's a cat now." The $VRAX pool went live about twenty seconds later.

In an AMA two weeks later, Vlad answered two Vrax questions:

Neither reply mentions the token. They didn't need to. The coin had bled out most of its launch spike, and those two lines sent it multiples higher within days.

$VRAX is a bet that Robinhood keeps writing chapters for the cat it created, and every chapter is free marketing.
