Recently, I've been looking at a bunch of RWA on-chain projects, and that kind of "buy and sell on the chain anytime" tone in their promotion sounds like liquidity is on steroids... But honestly, can the underlying assets really be redeemed at any time? Redemption windows, queuing, discounts, even suspension clauses—many of these are written quite artistically, and no one usually reads them. When something actually happens, everyone suddenly says, "Oh, so there's this clause too." It's both funny and infuriating.
Now I'm actually more concerned with: what you give me isn't "tradeable," but "exit-ready"—what does that actually look like? I wouldn't even dare to use it as a substitute for stablecoins in my position, at most as a small corner for long-term holding, something I don't look at before bed.
By the way, hardware wallets are out of stock lately, phishing links are rampant, and everyone's suddenly more aware of security... then they turn around and click on an "official airdrop" webpage, because the market mirror tends to reflect the opposite. That's all for now.
