The move signals a deeper push into blockchain infrastructure by the retail trading giant, focusing on the tokenization of real-world and digital assets.
February 11, 2026
obinhood has officially opened the public testnet for Robinhood Chain, a financial-grade Ethereum Layer 2 network built on Arbitrum technology. The launch marks a major step in the company’s push to bring traditional finance onchain, with an initial focus on tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) such as equities, ETFs, and other financial instruments.
Developers can now access the testnet to experiment with infrastructure, build applications, and prepare for a planned mainnet launch later in 2026. The network is designed for reliability, security, compliance, seamless bridging, self-custody, and high scalability — making it suitable for tokenized asset platforms, lending protocols, perpetual futures exchanges, and other DeFi products.
“ The testnet for Robinhood Chain lays the groundwork for an ecosystem that will define the future of tokenized real-world assets and enable builders to tap into DeFi liquidity within the Ethereum ecosystem,” said Johann Kerbrat, SVP and GM of Crypto and International at Robinhood. “We look forward to building alongside our infrastructure partners as we work to bring financial services onchain.”
A testnet faucet is live, and in the coming months developers will also gain access to testnet-only assets, including Stock Tokens (e.g., representations of Tesla, Amazon, etc.), direct integration testing with Robinhood Wallet, and a familiar Ethereum/Arbitrum development environment.
