Why did Robinhood choose Arbitrum to build L2? Revealing the technical roadmap for its tokenized stocks

【Crypto World】Robinhood’s Head of Cryptocurrency Business Johann Kerbrat recently revealed an important decision: the company has chosen to build on the Arbitrum Ethereum Layer-2 solution instead of creating an independent public chain. Why choose this way? It’s simple—leveraging Ethereum’s security and decentralization attributes directly, while also gaining liquidity support from the entire EVM ecosystem. This way, the team can focus on the core products, such as stock tokenization.

Currently, their dedicated L2 is still in private testnet phase, but tokenized stocks have already gone live on Arbitrum One. This design is clever—once their own L2 officially launches, these assets can be seamlessly migrated. It seems Robinhood is using Layer-2 as a springboard into Web3 finance, first validating ideas on existing infrastructure, then gradually advancing their own plans.
