@Dusk At first I thought tokenization was the hard problem It isn't Minting a compliant asset on chain is a solved problem at this point. Selling it when you actually need to is where things fall apart.
A token that can't find a buyer isn't liquid it's just recorded. That's the quiet gap between issuance and a functioning market and it's the part most tokenization pitches skip over.
Liquidity isn't something you can build directly. It's a coordination problem. You need issuers eligible buyers and market makers all present at the same time on rails that actually connect. Miss one piece and you don't have a market you have a listing sitting there.
Compliance makes this harder in a way that's easy to miss. The same eligibility rules that make an asset legally safe to hold also shrink the pool of people allowed to take the other side of a trade. Safety and depth end up pulling in opposite directions.
That's what makes Dusk Trade an interesting test case. The real question isn't whether assets can be tokenized under a compliant framework. It's whether a shared venue can pull enough issuers and eligible investors into one place to build real depth, instead of every issuer sitting alone with a thin empty order book.
Who benefits? Issuers and investors who'd rather share a deep market than each run a shallow one on their own.
What breaks it? If eligibility rules keep fragmenting participants and liquidity never gets past a cold start.
