Liquidity challenges in tokenized assets and how to address them

Asset tokenization opens the door to new forms of investment, fractional ownership and global access to traditionally closed markets.

However, Liquidity —the ability to buy or sell a token without significantly affecting its price—remains one of the main bottlenecks.

In this article, we address the real liquidity challenges faced by tokenized assets and we explore applicable solutions to improve operability and market share.

Why is liquidity so important?

Liquidity isn't a luxury: it's a requirement for a market to function efficiently. A tokenized asset without sufficient liquidity can result in:

  • Hard to sell (low output)
  • Volatile (unstable prices)
  • Unattractive to institutional investors

Key fact: According to the World Economic Forum (2020), 90% of the world's assets are “illiquid” or difficult to exchange.

Tokenization can help solve it, but only if it is accompanied by appropriate mechanisms.

Main liquidity challenges in tokenized assets

1. Lack of regulated secondary markets

Many tokens represent real-world assets (real estate, private company shares, commodities) that they cannot be freely listed on public exchanges due to legal restrictions.

This prevents immediate access to liquid secondary markets.

Solution:
Create authorized private markets (ATS, MTFs) or use tokenized platforms with regulatory license, such as INX or tZero.

2. Excessive market segmentation

Each project creates its own token, its own standard and its own platform. This creates an ecosystem fragmented, where liquidity is distributed across multiple small pools.

Solution:
Adopt common standards (ERC-20/ERC-1400, etc.), interoperability between platforms and using widely supported blockchain networks (such as Ethereum, Polygon or BASE) to consolidate liquidity.

3. Passive or absent inverters

In many cases, the tokens are in the hands of investors who They are not actively participating in the market. This reduces rotation and the depth of the order book.

Solution:
Implement liquidity incentives, such as staking with rewards, volume rebates, or market-making programs.

4. Regulatory Limitations

Tokens that represent securities, economic rights, or fractional ownership can be considered financial securities, which limits their free movement without complying with legal requirements.

Solution:
Legally structure tokens from the start (as security tokens if necessary), and work with legal advisors to ensure legal transferability in each jurisdiction.

5. High transaction costs

In certain networks, high commissions (gas fees) dissuade users from making small transactions, directly affecting retail liquidity.

Solution:
To use scalable or L2 networks with reduced costs (such as Arbitrum, Polygon, Base) and enabling automated trading with efficient smart contracts.

6. Absence of adapted DeFi infrastructure

Unlike purely crypto tokens, many tokenized assets cannot be directly integrated into DeFi platforms, for reasons of custody, legality or interoperability.

Solution:
Develop specific DeFi infrastructure for real asset tokens, such as loan protocols or regulated MMAs, and promote alliances between issuers and DeFi platforms.

Practical Strategies for Improving Liquidity

Create secondary markets from the start of the project

Anticipating the need for liquidity allows us to design parallel trading channels at launch.

This can include agreements with exchange platforms, building your own marketplace, or collaborations with DeFi pools.

Establish incentive and reward programs

Use token rewards or reduced commissions for reward purchasing/selling activity helps to energize markets.

You can also use mechanisms such as:

  • Liquidity mining
  • Volume Bonuses
  • Programs for first time participants

Integrate oracles and price data

Count on Reliable Price Oracles allows you to power DeFi applications and increase market confidence.

This is essential for low-volume tokenized assets, where prices could be easily manipulated.

Partnering with traditional financial players

Platforms that collaborate with brokers, funds or investment banks can attract more institutional liquidity, especially if they offer secure Fiat entry/exit ramps and full compliance.

Conclusion

Tokenization has the potential to unlock trillions in illiquid assets, but that potential only materializes if it is guaranteed The liquidity of the issued tokens.

It's not enough to represent an asset digitally: it's necessary Build the conditions so that asset can be traded in a smooth, secure and legal manner.
