They also explore Robinhood Chain’s rapid growth, its path from memecoin activity toward tokenized assets and institutional users, and how Arbitrum is building diversified revenue streams.

What is Market Cap?

Market Cap is the show for serious capital in crypto. Stefano hosts allocators, market makers, and institutional operators to unpack the flows, structures, and mechanics shaping the asset class. Conversations focus on market structure, liquidity, the bridge between TradFi and crypto, and the questions allocators are actually asking. Built for professionals who treat crypto as a market, not a meme.
