Liquidity | Crypto

Panelists at Cointelegraph’s Singapore CONNECT event explored opportunities in tokenized markets, the future of everyday stablecoin payments and the evolving landscape for crypto investors. Tokenized assets are opening new trading opportunities across financial markets, but the growing supply of real-world assets (RWAs) being brought onchain has yet to be matched by investor demand, according to Alex Taaffe, chief revenue officer at crypto trading firm GSR. Speaking during on a panel on liquidity and market fragmentation at CONNECT by Cointelegraph: Singapore Edition on Oct. 9, Taaffe said liquidity is improving in trading for pre-IPO stocks, commodities and global equities that investors previously had limited access to. However, he said demand for fully tokenized RWAs has not kept pace with the growing number of assets being issued.

High-demand assets enable continuous settlement, collateralization and network effects. Programmability on dollars and bonds compresses financial frictions where trillions already flow.

The most successful tokenization effort involved the most liquid asset in the world (the US dollar) in the form of USD-backed stablecoins. Read more

In an interview with Cointelegraph, CEO Nic Puckrin breaks down the forces behind Bitcoin’s bear market and what could come next in 2026. In an exclusive Cointelegraph interview, crypto YouTuber and CEO of Coin Bureau Nic Puckrin says he expects 2026 to play out as a “tale of two crypto markets” — institutional conviction on one side, and near-total retail apathy on the other.  While headlines have been dominated by exchange-traded funds, policy shifts and big-money adoption, he argues that the everyday investor isn’t showing up the way they did in previous cycles — and he explains why that matters for what comes next. He also revisits the debate around Bitcoin’s “four-year cycle.” Many traders declared the old playbook dead after an unusual run-up before the halving and the absence of a classic blow-off top. However, Puckrin outlines why recent price behavior has forced even skeptics to reconsider their views.  Read more
