Bitfinex Warns Tokenized Assets Are Only as Liquid as Their Exit
- —Tokenized commodities market grew from $1.43 billion at the start of 2025 to more than $5 billion
- —DTCC will convert securities into tokens and back on Canton and its private Besu network, with DTC as legal depository
- —Hong Kong's regulator asks tokenized fund issuers to appoint at least one market maker per product
- —SEC-exempt U.S. venues must halt when the primary exchange halts, leaving weekend trading without a live reference price
Why it matters: Liquidity of tokenized assets depends on the exit mechanism rather than round-the-clock trading, a key risk factor for investors.
