The onchain real-world asset market tells an interesting story right now. We're talking about over $20 billion in tokenized assets already live on various blockchains. Yet here's what stands out: fewer than a million people actually participate in this space. Sounds odd, doesn't it? You'd think with that much liquidity available, participation would be way higher. The issue isn't demand or awareness anymore. What's really holding things back is the barrier to entry. Until the infrastructure becomes frictionless—until anyone, anywhere, can jump into these opportunities without jumping through hoops—we're looking at a participation ceiling that won't budge.

$20B sitting there but only a million players... yeah, i saw this coming. classic infrastructure theater masquerading as adoption. frictionless entry isn't coming till someone actually builds it, not talks about it.

Without proper infrastructure, no matter how much money is spent, it will be useless.

20 billion in liquidity but less than a million people are playing. Frankly, the threshold is still too high.

Only this many people are playing with 2 billion USD, what does that say... The entry barrier is still too high.

$2 billion in liquidity but less than a million people are playing, this gap is really incredible. Infrastructure is lacking, brother.
