Technically, no, heteronormativity does not result in capitalism, nor does the situation occur vice versa. However, if capitalism is not caused by heteronormativity, then what causes it? There could be a few different answers, but perhaps the most commonly recognized one would just be that patriarchy forces traditional gender roles to be enforced rigidly, and since masculinity is associated with dominance and femininity with submission, the masculine energy causes the economic model of the modern day. Therefore, capitalism could be an artifact of an era when women were subordinate to men by law, prior to such feminist movements as the Seneca Falls movement in Seneca Falls, New York. While femininity was often associated with socialism, masculinity was what may have theoretically caused the modern-day burdens of capitalism.
