According to @secondswap_io, crypto lacks a mid-life market for vested and locked tokens, creating a structural liquidity gap that affects trading. The organization states that billions in locked capital and vested tokens are transacting via opaque OTC deals, breaking price discovery for these assets, according to @secondswap_io. Real-world asset adoption is being slowed by this opacity, according to @secondswap_io. Transparent, on-chain secondary markets are needed to handle this phase of token lifecycle, according to @secondswap_io.
