MARKET NOTE / 018 MIN READ
When does an on-chain sector become a market?
Liquidity, accessibility, concentration and persistence matter more than what happens to be trending today.
ROBINHOOD CHAIN MARKETS
Global markets,
moving on-chain.
We define and measure the markets forming on Robinhood Chain—then build clear ways to understand and access them.

RESEARCH DESK
Know why the market
is taking shape.
Research is the input. Indexes are the output. Every market definition should be explainable before it becomes investable.
DATA NOTE / 02ROBINHOOD CHAIN
Measuring concentration before a sector enters an index.
A simple framework for deciding whether one asset dominates a category too heavily.
METHODOLOGY / 03INDEX DESIGN
Why an index needs rules before it needs a ticker.
Eligibility, weighting, caps, liquidity screens and rebalance timing are the product logic.
NETWORK NOTE / 04CHAIN 4663
One network can contain many investable markets.
The network is the venue. The market categories are what investors actually need to understand.
02 / UNDERSTAND
A market is only useful
if the rules are visible.
Every serious index needs a repeatable methodology. The interface makes those rules readable instead of hiding them in a PDF.
01 / DEFINEVECTOR METHODOLOGY
Start with a market thesis.
Define the economic idea first. The index should answer a clear question about the Robinhood Chain economy before any asset is selected.
THE TEST
Can an investor explain in one sentence what this market represents?
EXPOSURE CALCULATOR
See the thesis
as an allocation.
This is a visual explanation of index weights—not a trade. Move the amount to see how an investment would map to the selected index.

03 / ACCESS
From a measured market
to an investable product.
Research identifies the market. Methodology defines it. An index measures it. Product access is the final layer—when the applicable structure and availability are in place.
