Robinhood Crypto L2 Network Roadmap: Scaling Beyond Trading in 2026

The lines between a retail broker and a blockchain infrastructure provider are blurring. Johann Kerbrat, Head of Crypto at Robinhood, recently spoke with CoinDesk to detail the firm's ambitious push into its own Layer-2 (L2) network, tokenized stock programs, and expanded staking rewards.

Building the Robinhood Crypto L2 Network Roadmap

By developing its own L2 solution, Robinhood aims to slash transaction costs and increase throughput for its users. This move positions the company to compete directly with existing scaling solutions on Ethereum. Kerbrat emphasized that the network, slated for a broader presence in 2026, will be deeply integrated with the Robinhood Wallet to provide a frictionless Web3 experience.

Tokenized Stocks and Global Staking Expansion

A key pillar of the strategy involves Tokenized Stocks. These digital representations of traditional equities allow for 24/7 trading and fractional ownership on-chain. Additionally, Robinhood plans to scale its staking offerings, enabling users to earn yields on their crypto holdings more efficiently than through traditional savings accounts.
