Offchain CEO Steven Goldfeder on the two paths enterprises can take to launch a chain: "If you look at enterprises, a lot of them are starting with 'we want our own chain'- Circle, Stripe, Coinbase, Robinhood. And there are basically two paths, you either launch an alternative layer 1,... and that's the path Stripe took, that's the path Circle took, or you launch an L2 on Ethereum, and that's the path Robinhood and Coinbase have taken." "The starting point for many of them is 'I want my own chain,' and Ethereum actually is the only environment that has an offering. They're not going to an alt layer 1 and building an alt layer 2 there. Either they're building an Ethereum layer 2, large enterprises, or they're launching their own new environment." "To me, it's clearly a win for Ethereum. Literally, Ethereum is the only layer one that even has an offering that can talk this language."show more

Offchain Labs CEO Steven Goldfeder on why Robinhood chose Arbitrum over Solana "Yeah, and by the way, that exactly is the point. You're in two buckets: you're Ethereum layer one, you're your own layer one, you're Ethereum layer two. If they would have put their products on Solana, think about it. Robinhood is attracting millions of dollars in daily transaction volume today. Where would those dollars have gone had they built on Solana? They would have gone to Solana validators." "I think Vlad said it the best he said, 'I want to be a landlord, not a tenant.' Today, they're driving Robinhood Chain, they're driving Robinhood Wallet. That wouldn't happen if they launched on Ethereum layer one. It wouldn't happen if they launched on Solana. They'd basically be contributing to the success of Solana validators, contributing to the success of the popular Solana wallets like Phantom." "But today they're actually able to own the ecosystem and be the landlord here. They're generating not only the revenue from their direct products, but also from all the others that want to be co-located with Robinhood." "There's a strip mall and you have a very popular store that a lot of people are coming to. everyone in the strip mall benefits from that. But if you don't own the strip mall, you don't really benefit from that at all."

Robinhood Chain hit $989 million in daily DEX volume and is now out-earning Ethereum in fees "Robinhood Chain, predictably I think, is absolutely exploding. They have such a big name, so many customers, so much interest in the crypto space." "They've launched Robinhood Chain, which is a layer two on Ethereum that's part of the Arbitrum stack using their technology. Arbitrum has gone up recently as a result." "This is now the largest L2, arguably, by volume on Ethereum, and has even surpassed Ethereum itself, even though it's a layer two, in fees gathered over the past 24 hours." "A lot of that is because of memecoins. But not just memecoins, tokenized stocks have absolutely exploded here on Robinhood Chain."

Johann Kerbrat on why Robinhood is building its own L2 on Ethereum At Consensus Hong Kong in February 2026, Robinhood launched a public testnet for Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 built with Arbitrum. Following six months of private testing, Robinhood plans to launch the mainnet in 2026 and will migrate tokenized US stocks and ETFs currently offered to EU customers on Arbitrum One to its own dedicated Arbitrum-powered L2 that still settles on Ethereum. Coinbase has adopted a similar strategy with its plans to take full control over Base’s tech stack and advance the L2 toward Stage 2 decentralization. Robinhood Head of Crypto Johann Kerbrat explains the rationale behind building an L2: “We can still get the security and liquidity of Ethereum, benefit from all of the work that the Arbitrum team has done, and on top of that, customize [the chain] every time we want to build something.” He continues: “If we want to give people access to all of the tools and elements of traditional finance, we also need flexibility [to comply with] what regulators are asking us to do. A world where you have full privacy and you can do whatever you want without KYC and trade securities is still a bit far for us. But what we are trying to find is a good middle ground. You will be on a permissionless chain. You will be able to interact with DeFi and do a lot of things with your stock tokens. We think it’s a great compromise.” Galaxy Head of Research Alex Thorn points out that you can embed a lot of compliance controls at the application and token layers on top of Ethereum.

Robinhood Head of Crypto on Non-Ethereum L1s: “Centralization is a major issue” “You’ve seen with many of the other [non-Ethereum] L1s — even the big ones — centralization is still a major issue: sometimes there’s an issue, and everyone restarts [the validators] at the same time. It doesn’t really feel decentralized, right? With Ethereum, you get all of this for free. So you can focus your mental bandwidth and resources on building on top of it instead of doing the basic things that everyone else is doing.” Crypto General Manager Johann Kerbrat explains that this free security was a huge factor in Robinhood’s decision to build a Layer 2 rather than an alternative Layer 1. Accessing the liquidity of Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains was another major factor: “If you’re alone on your private island and no one can come in or out — I’m sure we could get customers because we’re Robinhood and a big platform, but we actually want to recreate the entire financial system on-chain. So we need everyone to be able to come into our island.” Source: DeFi Dad ⟠ defidad.eth (Dec 2025)

Robinhood’s Head of Crypto explains why they’re building an Ethereum L2 “You see a lot of companies right now building their own L1. We were excited about this idea of controlling everything you want to build, but creating the security of a real, proper, decentralized chain is extremely difficult, and you basically get that for free with Ethereum.” “When you look at some of these new L1s that are being created: it’s not really decentralized and it’s not really secure — at the end of the day it’s basically a fancy database that’s a bit slower to use than an actual database, so we didn’t really see the value in that. With Ethereum we get the security by default.” “The second thing that we get by building an L2 is all of the liquidity that is already on every EVM-compatible chains. That was also a very important decision factor for us. If we really want to bring the stock market on-chain, we need to have this liquidity. It’s not going to be possible if it’s in a closed loop or a closed chain that nobody can access.” “For us, those were the two elements that we really wanted to focus on, and that’s why we decided to build on Ethereum.” Source: DeFi Dad ⟠ defidad.eth (Dec 2025)

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: “L2s are the best business model in blockchain” Raoul Pal explains his view of Layer 2s on Ethereum: “We just created excess capacity versus current usage, and it will accrue to the base chain over time.” Etherealize co-founder Danny Ryan adds to this: “I think it’s Ethereum’s favor to have massive optionality in this layer that inherits the security of Ethereum and enhances the network effects of Ethereum. We’re going to continue to work on how these things communicate, how they resolve state differences, and all sorts of stuff like that… But one of the reasons many years ago that Ethereum went all in on that was it was the only way to scale Ethereum without sacrificing the decentralization of the L1.” Raoul emphasizes the importance of this point: “People underestimate scalability because they have no understanding of the scale of the financial system. They have no understanding of the sheer amount of transactions that happen, the speed that it happens, and the value that transacts. People just think, ‘Oh tokenized equities.’ They have no idea of what is required… you have the DTCC, then you have Euroclear — there’s endless numbers of them. People don’t even talk about the derivatives markets. The OTC derivatives markets are another couple of quadrillion dollars. Then you have the FX markets. The FX markets themselves do another $5 trillion a day. These numbers are stupid.” Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman comments: “It’s just naive for people to think that all of global finance can live in one layer. But it can live in one multi-layer ecosystem that has interoperability, ZK, and is future proof, and that’s what Ethereum is. Zooming out, we’re at such an early stage of the adoption curve — the people who say ETH won’t accrue value aren’t seeing how big the market can get. The other thing too that got me to become a bit of a Layer 2 maximalist is that from the bank or asset manager perspective, people want to own their own businesses and maximize profits. My take is that L2s are the best business model in blockchain, and it’s not just me saying that. Robinhood said, ‘We can get the security of Ethereum for virtually nothing, keep all of our operating margins to ourselves, and we’re attached to the liquidity of the largest ecosystem out there with the most stablecoins and tokenized assets. That’s the best pitch out there. Instead of building your own blockchain, just build an L2 and hook it to Ethereum.” Source: Raoul Pal (Apr 2026)

Vitalik Buterin on Ethereum as the economic layer for AI “The blockchain to me is the most natural way to allow applications and cooperation between many different people in the long term without needing to agree on who to trust. The other thing is also the economic layer. This is the layer where blockchains can support AIs.” Vitalik believes Ethereum will play a large role in the future of decentralized AI: “If you have more decentralized AI, that means you have different AIs (agents, programs) that are controlled by different people and need to interact with each other. And for that interaction to be possible, you need to have an economic layer. Either cooperation is based on economic incentives and economic rules. Or it’s based on central control. It’s usually one of the two, and if we can set up the economic system, that makes more decentralized interaction between AIs possible.” Source: OKX (Apr 2026) Read our full article on why AI agents will need Ethereum for low-risk DeFi below👇

Robinhood didn’t want to be “alone on a private island” they think they’ll gain more users as an Ethereum L2 than an L1. if even Robinhood thinks that, nobody should build an L1. “We want to recreate the entire financial system onchain. We need everyone to be able to come to our island.” they chose Ethereum as the place to recreate the financial system because: → the most decentralized & secure → access to the deepest liquidity & users “If we really want the stock market onchain, we need to have this liquidity. It’s not going to be possible on a closed chain with like 20 different hoops before you can bridge.” Robinhood Chain is in private testnet, an Ethereum L2 built on the Arbitrum stack. they’ve already tokenized 1,000+ stocks.

This clip might be the clearest articulation I’ve ever heard on why Ethereum's roadmap is working, and why Robinhood chose to build its own L2 using Arbitrum. + Ethereum offers security, with proven decentralization + New L1s = centralized databases + EVM liquidity is essential for tokenized stocks & RWAs + Arbitrum’s tech stack wins on engineering merit No edits. No spin. Just a major U.S. fintech explaining why they’re building the future of finance on Ethereum. Real validation for those of us who are long term Ethereum/ETH investors. Here is the clip and transcript for Johann answering why Robinhood chose to build its own Ethereum L2: "You see a lot of companies right now building their own L1. And for us, we felt excited about this idea where we can control anything that we want to build and we don't have to deal with any other chain to talk to or anything like that. But at the same time, creating the security of a real proper decentralized chain is extremely difficult, as you know. And we basically get that for free with Ethereum. The network has been going on for a very long time now and the security is stable and it's decentralized. And I think that's really the key two points that we wanted to have. When you look at some of these new L1s that are being created, it's not really decentralized and it's not really secure. So at the end of the day, you're basically having like a... fancy database that is probably a bit slower to use than an actual database. And so we didn't really see the value in that. With Ethereum, we get the security by default. The second thing that we get by having an L2 is that you get all this liquidity that is already part of all the EVM compatible chains. And that was also a very important decision factor for us. If we really want to bring the stock market onto the chain, we need to have this liquidity. It's not going to be possible if it's in a closed loop or in a closed chain that nobody can access and you need to have like 20 different hoops before you can bridge to that chain. So for us, that was kind of the two elements that we really wanted to focus on and that's why we decided on building on Ethereum. And then we decided on Arbitrum mostly because we love the technology. There's a few things that we are excited about. For example, Stylus. It's a way that we can basically use different language into the chain and we can build on top of that. We also like the way that they prioritize transactions that is, we think, a better way than some of the competition. And so basically we'll use the Arbitrum stack and we'll create our own L2, which will make us also compatible with all the Arbitrum chains. And so we think it's kind of the best of all the worlds. But for us, the idea is like we will start with public stock, and then we think that we can tokenize anything really, not just stocks. It can be private stock, it can be art, it can be real estate, whatever you want to think of. And so we really wanted to have a platform that is kind of easy to build on and we can keep adding on it. At the same time, we know that regulation are going to be hard on some of these products, especially when it comes to financial products. You always have different regulators. You have different rules depending on the region. If you're in the EU versus the US versus LATAM. And so we felt like we wanted to have our own layer that we could customize for these needs. And then anyone that is building on the chain will also be able to benefit from what we are building, versus just putting everything in a contract that will be just good for the people that are using the Robinhood contracts. But so at this point, we announced the chain in June. We are in private test right now, and then we'll do more announcements in the future."

"We built the source of yield for your store of value, which is pufETH […] and we’ve spent the past 18 months developing institutional-focused solutions, including our own rollup stack that’s fully composable with Ethereum." “Our thesis is that the next stablecoin, the next perps venue, the next payment rail, and the next RWA solution will launch as a based rollup using Puffer UniFi 🐡⛓️. With full composability and direct access to Ethereum L1 liquidity, they’ll be the winners in this market.” At Ethereum Devcon Buenos Aires, our Puffer VIP Dinner set the stage for a deep dive into the forces reshaping Ethereum and institutional crypto adoption.

The ethereum:native thesis starts with Ethereum itself. ansgar.eth says it plainly: “Ethereum and ETH can only win together.” “ETH is the asset that sits at the very core of Ethereum.” But the key point is what comes next: “The effects on ETH is a little bit of an afterthought.” “You really need to codevelop Ethereum and ETH.”

Electric Capital co-founder Avichal Garg: Ethereum is a programmable store of value “I think the right frame is that Bitcoin is an existence proof. Ethereum is perhaps the second example of an internet-native store of value. It just has different properties and is useful in its own way.” “The fact that you can actually build on top of Ethereum — it’s a programmable store of value — is I think what’s really fascinating. In theory Bitcoin is programmable but it wasn’t really designed for that, and in many ways it’s sort of antithetical to the base layer: you don’t actually want it to change. That’s sort of the superpower of Bitcoin: you know what you’re getting. And that stability is really important.” “But with Ethereum you have stablecoins on it, and that’s where all the stablecoin volume is. And ultimately, if you look at where the global financial system will be built, I think it’s going to be built in the non-sovereign space. It will likely be built on top of Ethereum.”

Why Ethereum is catching a real tailwind right now "Ethereum looks like it's poised to outperform here, at least all the way up to this area, and probably higher. There's a lot of tailwinds after Vitalik came out with his capitulatory messaging on the ETH foundation and we're just another node. Obviously you've got BitMine out there and Tom Lee and all these guys" "Let's be honest, you can be bearish on ETH all you want, but Robinhood chain is a layer two on ETH, and I think people are probably discounting how important Robinhood chain is. They have tens of millions of users who now can just click a button, not really know they're doing crypto stuff, and do crypto stuff" "Memecoins are exploding there again, predicted. I think it's going to probably become one of the major competitors"

Why enterprises are going to want to own their own intelligence? "Enterprises are going to want to own their own intelligence. They're going to want AI sovereignty, meaning that you own your whole supply chain of AI. You can take an open source model, fine-tune it on your own company's data, and own your stack end-to-end. People are going to care about sovereignty, cost, and self-improving, and they're not necessarily going to want to give their data to an external third-party service that might even be competing with them one day." Anastasios Nikolas Angelopoulos Will enterprises really care about owning their own intelligence and even be setup to do so in the future Nikesh Arora Vinod Khosla Matt Turck Andy Pavlo (@andypavlo.bsky.social) Brad Gerstner

"It's very much a one-size-fits-all solution. When you're building a mobile app you build it for Android and iOS, we're building it for EVM and for SVM" Rand, founder of Zama, on why core infrastructure has to be cross-chain from the start "There's a version for EVM that works with any EVM chain, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Binance, and then there's a Solana version for SVM. The protocol is designed to be cross-chain on day one. There isn't going to be a different version on every chain, there's just going to be one encryption layer" "You've got confidential assets, shielded USDC on Ethereum, and you can move it shielded to Polygon and Solana. It solves the interoperability issues, even of transactions and bridges, just by using the layer" "Whenever you're building core infrastructure today, you have to build it cross-chain by design. Liquidity is fragmented, people have money on Solana, they have money on Ethereum. Just because you're doing it confidentially shouldn't mean you have worse access than someone using blockchain today. The baseline is what people have today, on top of which we add confidentiality. We cannot make things worse than they are, otherwise people are just not going to use it"

Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang says allocating capital to Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2018 is a lot like investing in the AI sector today: "When we launched Paradigm in 2018, a lot of our thesis was that we knew crypto would expand massively. And then there was this open question — should you invest in the core protocols like Bitcoin and Ethereum, or invest in startups?" "Obviously in hindsight, the answer was both." "I think it's a lot like the AI landscape now, with this question of — do you own the model companies, or do you own the application layer on top? In 2018, Bitcoin and Ethereum were like OpenAI and Anthropic, and those are the things to own."
