We will be adding the ability to transact on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, an open-source “layer-2” for Bitcoin transactions in the near future. Because these transactions occur “off-chain,” Lightning network transactions occur in a matter of seconds vs. minutes and for pennies vs. dollars, saving customers time and money. Network fees will vary based on demand in the Bitcoin network.

Article from CoinDesk on this:

Additionally, she said Robinhood will add support for bitcoin transactions on the Lightning Network, the speedy, low-cost settlement layer for Bitcoin.
