I kept staring at TermMax’s RWA menu and realized the impressive part was the collateral list not the borrowing underneath it.
Tokenized stocks can widen what users borrow against but breadth is not demand. The harder question is what percentage of active loans actually use those equities how many supported stocks become collateral, and whether borrowers return after the first experiment.
DefiLlama shows about $32M TVL $22M active loans and roughly $17K in 30 day fees while nearly 95% of TVL still sits on Ethereum. That concentration is not automatically bad. Deep liquidity can create a curator flywheel more capital better execution more borrowers then more capital.
But it makes multichain weaker than capital actually leaving Ethereum.
TermMax gets more interesting when native utilization is compared with effective utilization. Idle lending capital routed through Aave or Morpho may still earn yet that blurs how much demand TermMax itself creates.
RWA collateral adds another test 24/7 DeFi debt against assets with trading hour gaps.
I can accept thin RWA usage early. I’m watching repeat borrowing RWA volume per collateral dollar userpaid fees and whether August 25 finally closes a TGE timeline targeted for Q3 2025 then roadmapped for Q2 2026.
If those improve together TMX has something deeper than product breadth.
