Recently, watching RWA on the chain feels a bit like watching "liquidity magic"... It appears to have depth on the surface, but when you actually want to redeem, you realize the terms are more convoluted than the contract: window periods, quotas, queuing, and even who sets the price are all vague. The on-chain trading volume is more like emotional liquidity, which doesn't necessarily mean you can exchange your position at any time.
These days, everyone is also checking staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, and the selling pressure anxiety is at its peak. I think RWA is more subtle: it's not the kind of panic selling that scares people, but more like "you think you can withdraw, but it turns out to be very slow" and quite frustrating. Anyway, I always take a screenshot of the redemption terms... just in case, in a few days, the page changes, and I start doubting my memory again.
