Bank custody won't just add another service layer to digital assets - it fundamentally rewrites how institutional capital interfaces with the market. That's the thesis Jeff Dorman, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Arca, unpacks in our latest episode of Derivatives Decoded. The current market structure creates unprecedented capital inefficiency. While crypto "prime brokers" tout institutional solutions, they can't solve the core problem: in a T+0 settlement environment, you must pre-fund every venue individually. The result? Massive fragmentation of capital across Deribit, CME, IBIT, and other venues — each requiring separate collateral pools. Jeff offers a sophisticated analysis of where institutional capital actually flows and shares Arca's framework for institutional valuation across quantifiable financial value, measurable utility value, and correlative social value. He also tells Ash how rigorous fundamental analysis can be applied to digital assets — a sharp contrast to the purely quantitative approaches dominating the space. For traders managing institutional capital today, Jeff provides detailed analysis of venue selection between IBIT options and crypto-native venues. The key differentiator isn't pricing - it's capital efficiency.

A huge thanks to OKX for inviting me to the McLaren Group F1 Paddock at—an unforgettable experience following our recently announced partnership.
