Creating a financial position is one problem.

Creating a market around that position is another.

That's why I keep coming back to TermMax's secondary-market design.

Imagine two users holding the same type of fixed-term position.

One wants to keep it until maturity.

The other suddenly needs liquidity.

Without a secondary market, their preferences don't really matter.

The first user holds.

The second user waits or exits in some other way.

But with a transferable position, their preferences can potentially meet in the market.

Now the position itself has a price.

And that price can move depending on rates, demand and time to maturity.

This is where things get much more interesting.

The original transaction created the position.

But the secondary market determines whether that position remains useful afterward.

That's an important distinction for DeFi.

A protocol can create a clever financial primitive, but if nobody wants to trade it later, the primitive remains relatively isolated.

So for TermMax, I think secondary liquidity may ultimately be one of the most important things to watch.

The first transaction proves the product can be used.

The market afterward proves whether the product can actually become a financial primitive.
