## 15. Off-chain catalyst events drive the biggest chain runner (CASHCAT)
Sources: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/cash-cat-reclaims-robinhood-chain-073034950.html ; https://fortune.com/crypto/2026/07/13/robinhood-chain-memecoin-trading-cash-cat-vlad-tenev-crypto/
Claim: CASHCAT went from ~$40M to ~$220M cap in 3 days after the Robinhood app listing (6 Aug); +16% on Q2 earnings call when CEO's search list showed it. Coordinated KOL shill posts on 25 Aug (credibility doubtful). Single token, survivor bias; the pool is much smaller than the cap implies.
Test: only catalyst-driven runs of OLD tokens (not fresh launches). Replay: list dates of Robinhood announcements/listings, check volume/price jump in the 24h after for tokens already above $20M cap. Probably an event watcher, not a bot rule.
Data: Robinhood announcement dates (manual list), our price tape for large caps.
Searched, nothing new: TENDIES (no specific call found); Bitquery "467 other groups" already in item 8.
