Recently looking at projects building on RWA on-chain, the more I look, the more I feel that “liquidity” is a bit like an illusion: the on-chain pools look deep, and trading can be made to look very lively, but when it truly comes time to redeem, there are a bunch of gates in the terms—T+N, quota caps, trigger pauses, and even “the manager may exercise discretion.” In plain terms, what you’re buying is a ticket with lots of add-ons, not a cash substitute you can redeem at any time.

When I look at these pools myself, I’ll treat the redemption path as the main character first: who will process the redemption, what will be used to redeem, how long it takes in the worst case, whether partial redemption is possible, and whether there are priorities. Without those, even if you spend more time and money on-chain, it’s just pretty UI.

Also, over the past couple of days, people in the group have been arguing about privacy coins/mixers and the boundaries of compliance. I actually care even more about the same question: are the rules written clearly, and who holds the execution authority. In unclear areas, it usually ends with the user not winning. That’s it for now.
