The popularity of RWA topics remains high, but everyone seems to focus mainly on the question of "whether the assets are real." Upon closer reflection, this is actually a misdirection.

The real constraint on RWA breakthroughs is not authenticity. No matter how genuine the assets are, if they can only sit on the chain for "static display," it’s meaningless. The key is—can they enter the trading ecosystem of the crypto market? Can they be publicly priced? Can they circulate freely? Can they be traded in real-time?

In other words, RWA needs a trading gateway and pricing mechanism that truly belongs to the crypto market. Without this, everything is just armchair talk. Liquidity is the final mile for RWA to become a reality.

Liquidity, this is the real bottleneck RWA right now is like a pile of dead assets, what’s the use of real ones, the key is that it needs to be able to move To put it simply, RWA without a trading ecosystem is just a fancy collection, useless Yeah, having digital certificates on the chain is pointless; it must be able to truly participate in price discovery Without a pricing mechanism, RWA will never be playable

Honestly, liquidity really hits a sore spot. Just having asset proof doesn't do much. That said, the current pricing mechanism is still too fragmented, and trading depth can't keep up. Wait, isn't this the old problem from the beginning of DeFi? Now it's just wearing a different mask? However, if RWA can truly connect the trading ecosystem, that might be the breakthrough, everything else is pointless. Alright, let's see if any team can really come up with a decent liquidity solution. There aren't many reliable RWA projects this time; most are still in the pie-in-the-sky stage.

That's a very good point. The authenticity aspect has been overdone for a long time. Now, the real skill is to see who can actually create liquidity. --- If liquidity is insufficient, RWA is just an advanced NFT, no different. --- All along, people have been touting asset authenticity. But what happened? No one dares to trade. It's hilarious. --- The core issues are the pricing mechanism and trading depth. Without solving these, everything else is pointless. --- After listening to so many RWA project PPTs, I finally realized that the bottleneck is still liquidity. It was an awakening. --- Wait, you guys are only now realizing this? I’ve been talking about the issue of incomplete trading pairs for half a year. --- Even if the assets are perfect and on-chain, it’s useless. You need to be able to sell them. --- The problem with RWA is not verification; it’s the severe lack of market depth. What are you even talking about?

You're right, liquidity is the real bottleneck; everything else is just superficial. --- Instead of boasting about authenticity, it's better to first address trading depth, or else it's just a display. --- This perspective is fresh. Many people are fixated on asset backing and completely overlook the ecosystem support. --- Wake up, wake up. RWA with only assets is not enough; it needs to be active to be considered data. --- Agreed. Current RWA projects are either suspicious in assets or lack liquidity; neither aspect is well managed. --- Liquidity is king. No one will buy if there's no single, liquid market—this is basic logic. --- It seems many RWAs are still at the conceptual stage, and the trading mechanisms can't keep up. --- The problem is that establishing this pricing mechanism and trading gateway is too difficult; it's not something one or two projects can do. --- Exactly, what we need is a native crypto trading hub, which is still missing. --- Honestly, whether assets are genuine or not is less important than liquidity. Once liquidity is there, everything else is easy to talk about.

Liquidity really hits the point, otherwise it's just like antiques in a museum—visible but intangible. That's right, authenticity is not the core issue; the key is whether it can truly circulate. Talking about theories on paper is indeed annoying; real transactions with actual money are the only thing that counts. So most projects are still stuck in the same place, messing around without clear trading mechanisms. The saying "Liquidity is king" is not wrong; if RWA can't be implemented, it's just empty talk. Agreed, having asset proof alone is useless; it must be tradable.
