While memecoins currently account for the majority of DEX activity, the more important story is Robinhood's focus on tokenized real-world assets. With ~28M customers, a native on-chain experience, and products like Robinhood Earn, the chain has the potential to become a meaningful gateway for mainstream crypto adoption.

"Ultimately, this issue is around human interpretation of the markets, which can be subject to bias.
Gensyn, a decentralized AI infrastructure network, is addressing this by leveraging AI models for event resolutions in prediction markets"
From @martin_gaspar1@FalconXGlobal
The size and caliber of the room at Goldman Sachs’ Digital Assets Conference said a lot about institutional conviction in the long-term outlook of the market. In fact, this year's conference was 2x bigger than last year.
A few reflections from the event:
- Convergence of traditional and digital assets was front and center in conversations.
- AI is an on-chain catalyst and will create a new class of demand, but only if the infrastructure can support secure and compliant capital movement.
- The industry is consolidating around platforms with verified scale, trusted execution, and a true breadth of product.
This shift is exactly why we are building beyond the traditional boundaries of this space. In direct response to our clients’ demand, we’ve made major strides this past year expanding the @FalconXGlobal platform into commodities, equities, and compute markets. Frankly, I’d be disappointed if we're just a crypto company in two years.
Thank you to @GoldmanSachs for having me.
The tokenized stock market has surged to $1.5B, fueled by growing demand for 24/7 access to equities.
In a new feature, @Traders_Tweets highlights insights from FalconX Senior Crypto Market Strategist @Martin_Gaspar1 on the structural forces and exchange integrations shaping this growth.

Last week, @FalconXGlobal reached a new milestone. We expanded beyond crypto markets by offering clients security-based swaps tied to perpetual futures referencing traditional financial assets, including SpaceX - the largest IPO in history.
Perpetual futures started as a crypto native product. They are now becoming a useful tool for 24/7 price discovery and hedging across a wider set of assets. By eliminating fixed expiries, perps concentrate depth and liquidity into a single contract while removing the constant transaction costs of rolling over termed positions. Even better, their embedded funding mechanisms swap out opaque, legacy overnight funding markets for real-time funding flexibility. This gives institutional allocators structural precision needed for dynamic hedging in a 24/7 global economy.
In the case of SpaceX, the perpetual futures markets indicated SpaceX would trade in the open market at a significant premium to the IPO price, providing traders both an efficient access vehicle and valuable price discovery information ahead of the June 12th listing.
This milestone builds on the cross asset work we have executed over the last two quarters across oil, tokenized gold, compute, and now equities. By spending years building the pieces that are difficult to replicate - regulatory licensure, 24/7 operational infrastructure, and agile credit systems - we have built FalconX to be a plug and play infrastructure layer.
As new markets emerge, we can provide clients liquidity and the ability to manage complex risk quickly, often within 24 hours.
Hyperliquid continues to make new highs, compute markets are gaining traction, and the lines between crypto, equities, prediction markets, and other asset classes are becoming increasingly blurred.
On this episode of The House View, FalconX Head of Sales @JoshBarkhordar sits down with Global Co-Head of Markets @Joshua_J_Lim to discuss:
• What's driving activity in HYPE
• How the SpaceX IPO is shaping positioning across risk assets
• How liquidity is shifting across onchain and traditional venues
• Why compute markets are emerging as a major new asset class
