Cross-chain bridges are truly a fascinating sector!

Everything can be cross-chain, everything needs to be cross-chain, and everything must be cross-chain.
When MEME was booming, everyone was cross-chain trading MEME.
Now RWA is the focus, and the market is again demanding RWA cross-chain.
┈➤Trading RWA on-chain
Currently, RWA mainly consists of stablecoins and stock-related tokens. Trading RWA tokens on some platforms has the drawback of only facing that platform’s liquidity and RWA varieties.
On the other hand, some platforms can only trade during stock market hours, and others are hesitant to keep stock tokens on the platform long-term.
In comparison, trading stock tokens on-chain in a self-custodied manner might be safer and more reassuring.
Currently, ondo and xStocks support 24/7 trading of RWA tokens, but these platforms have limited US stock token varieties.
For example:
ondo has not launched, but xStocks has launched micro-strategy stock (MSTR), mining stocks like BTBT, etc.
Meanwhile, ondo has launched some ETF tokens that xStocks doesn’t have, such as the 20+ year Treasury ETF token TLTon, inflation-protected bond ETF token TIPon, and others.
In cross-chain bridges, you can trade RWA tokens across multiple chains, including US bonds, US stocks, and more.
In deBridge, you can even directly swap RWA tokens from one chain to another...
For example, exchanging TLTon on Ethereum in just one step for MSTR on Solana.
And since RWA and funds are stored in your own wallet, the entire process and assets are self-custodied, which is the most reassuring.
┈➤Another essential need for cross-chain bridges is for LPs
RWA and MEME have one major difference.
MEME may not be suitable for long-term holding, but traditional financial assets like US bonds and stocks, represented by tokens, are suitable for long-term holding.
Therefore, we can actually buy RWA assets we believe in, add liquidity on-chain, and earn transaction fees from traders on DEXs.
Even if RWA prices drop in the short term, their value assets will eventually bounce back.
Most existing platforms supporting US stock tokens do not support withdrawals.
At this point, cross-chain bridges provide convenience for LP users again. We can use assets from other chains to exchange for RWA assets on the target chain and then add liquidity.
I declare that cross-chain bridges are the ultimate necessity!
