A token can be onchain while the asset’s most important work is still happening somewhere else.
That sounds strange at first.
But the more I looked into tokenized financial assets, the more I realised that creating the token is only one part of the story.
Issuance, custody, trading, settlement, disclosure and reporting can still depend on systems outside the blockchain.
That’s where Dusk caught my attention.
The interesting part is that Dusk looks beyond simply putting a representation of an asset onchain and focuses on how the wider asset lifecycle can work around onchain infrastructure.@Dusk
Maybe I’m looking at it too simply, but that distinction feels important.
If only the representation moves onchain while the rest of the lifecycle stays fragmented, we haven’t really redesigned the market.
We’ve just moved one piece.
For me, native issuance is a more interesting question than simply asking whether an asset can be tokenized.
The real test isn’t whether the asset has a token. It’s how much of its financial life can actually run onchain.
Do you think the next stage of RWA adoption is about creating more tokens or rebuilding more of the asset lifecycle around the ledger?
