TermMax points to a signal most RWA discourse misses: deposits only prove someone was willing to hold an asset — that's a custody decision, not a pricing decision. Borrowing is different. It costs money, repeatedly, so it reveals what the market actually thinks an asset is worth as collateral.
TermMax's structure — collateral type → loan demand → fixed rate → repeat borrowing — surfaces this almost by accident. Some RWAs will pull in large TVL with little borrowing against them; others will support smaller TVL but generate consistent loans at competitive fixed rates. Those are different kinds of adoption, and only one reflects real economic conviction.
The catch is incentives. Subsidized rates or reward programs can manufacture borrowing activity that looks like demand but isn't. So the real test is what survives once incentives fade: does borrowing continue, do rates stay competitive without subsidy, and do borrowers roll positions at maturity rather than exiting.
If all three hold, that's a far stronger signal than TVL alone — it means fixed-rate loan markets are pricing the asset, not just storing it. RWA legitimacy onchain may end up measured less by what gets tokenized and more by what people keep choosing to borrow against, at rates nobody had to pay them to accept.
