We refreshed the chores experience to give kids more ownership and make setup seamless for parents. We redesigned investing to help families learn to build long-term wealth in a way that feels easy and empowering. What powered it all? Late-night brainstorms, cross-team collabs, countless prototypes, engineering breakthroughs, customer conversations, and a shared mission to serve our Greenlight families. We pulled it all together in our 2025 annual family trends report, Greenlight Glimmers. Take a peek behind the numbers and breakdown the moments that made the year shine ✨ https://lnkd.in/gCyd6nuP

    It is Giving Tuesday, and I am thrilled that Greenlight allows kids and teens to give to charity. What a way to teach philanthropy to the next generation. My niece and nephew are both using their MountainOne Greenlight cards to join me in giving to Berkshire United Way today. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3Mb2T1O

  • We are proud to help teach the future generation of investors here at Greenlight. Check out the latest from The Wall Street Journal: “Already, young people in their 20s are trying their hand at investing in large numbers, and now just behind them is a surge of teenagers who are getting familiar with markets. Greenlight, a platform that lets children invest with their parents’ permission, said the number of trades directed by minors last month was up 77% from two years earlier.” Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/gFmiAmPX

    Yoyo Zheng, 19, learned about investing in a high-school finance class and was intrigued when she turned a notional $100,000 into $300,000 in a stock-simulation game. 🔗 https://on.wsj.com/43XZHg0 In February, she bought stocks with her savings from working at a restaurant and an eye-care clinic. She picked AI-related companies such as Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices during a chip rally, and put roughly 25% of her portfolio into bitcoin as a long-term bet. A couple months later, her holdings took a hit of nearly $2,000 as President Trump’s tariff announcements rattled markets. Losses can scare off inexperienced investors, and Zheng’s father had told her, “You cannot trust the market.” But she stuck with it and felt vindicated as the market recovered. Her hope is that her investments will help her pay some of her tuition bills and build up a down payment for an apartment. Already, young people in their 20s are trying their hand at investing in large numbers, and now just behind them is a surge of teenagers who are getting familiar with markets. Greenlight, a platform that lets children invest with their parents’ permission, said the number of trades directed by minors last month was up 77% from two years earlier. Contrary to the image of reckless traders chasing meme stocks, many young Americans are responding to this year’s market volatility with the patience and steadiness of investors decades their senior.
