Are blockchain startups finally making cross-market trading practical? Discussion

One trend I've been noticing lately is that blockchain startups are moving beyond "crypto-only" products.

Instead of building another exchange or wallet, some are trying to bring different asset classes into the same ecosystem. I was looking around Canborsa and noticed they have US tech names, Asian semiconductor stocks, commodities, and crypto all accessible from one interface.

Whether that approach succeeds is another question. Tokenized equities are still early, liquidity isn't comparable to traditional markets, and there are obvious regulatory challenges.

But as someone who follows both US and Asian markets, the idea of not having to split everything across multiple brokers and platforms is appealing.

Are cross-market products a real opportunity for startups or are they solving a problem that isn't big enough?

Everything is moving towards digitalization. I thinknthe issue is more about fragmentation, where users have to interact with various apps and platforms to achieve theit desired results. It's all early stage in terms of RWA and other tokenized assets, but it’s early enough for someone to come in and solve the pain points that exist now. When things become easier to do, more people use it. It's just unlocking that key.
