Tokenization Is Easy, Liquidity Is Hard
In the RWA narrative, tokenization is often treated as the main breakthrough. In reality, issuing tokens that represent assets is no longer the hard part. The real challenge begins after issuance, when those assets need to change hands. Without a properly designed secondary market, tokenization only changes the asset’s format, not its illiquid nature.
IXS highlights this distinction clearly. Security tokens come with real constraints such as investor eligibility, transfer restrictions, and jurisdiction rules. Liquidity cannot simply emerge on permissionless DEXs. It must be built through an exchange layer that treats compliance as part of the design. This is where real RWA value is created. Not when assets are tokenized, but when they can be traded legally and efficiently.
