#termmax @TermMax I’ve been looking at TMX from a different angle: liquidity.
Not the kind you read about in whitepapers, but the real kind — the kind that determines whether you can actually sell your tokens when you need to.
Right now, TMX trades on a handful of smaller exchanges. The volume is low. The order books are thin. That means if someone wants to buy or sell a decent-sized bag, they're going to move the price significantly. That's not a problem for retail traders with small positions. But for an institution looking to allocate millions? It's a dealbreaker.
Here's the uncomfortable reality: even if Dusk lands a major partnership tomorrow, the token won't see real institutional money until there's deep liquidity on a tier-1 exchange like Binance or Coinbase. And those exchanges don't list projects just because they have good tech. They list projects that have users, volume, and regulatory clarity.
That's a chicken-and-egg problem.
Dusk needs users to generate volume. But to get users, they need liquidity. But to get liquidity, they need a major exchange. But to get a major exchange, they need users and volume.
So where does the flywheel start?
Honestly, I don't have a clean answer. But I know this: most privacy-focused chains never break out of this loop. They stay in the "promising but niche" category forever because they can't get the liquidity engine running.
TMX could be different if Dusk lands a real-world asset issuer that brings actual transaction volume. But that's a big "if."
I'm not saying it's a bad token. I'm saying the path to real liquidity is narrow, and most projects don't survive it.
