Key Takeaways:
Symbiotic, a crypto infrastructure firm backed by Paradigm, Pantera Capital and Coinbase Ventures, on Tuesday launched Liquid Lane, a liquidity network that lets investors redeem tokenized funds and private credit products for stablecoins instantly instead of waiting through redemption windows that can stretch as long as 180 days.
"The RWA market has crossed $33 billion, but most of those assets still can't be redeemed on demand," Misha Putiatin, co-founder of Symbiotic, said in an interview. "Institutions understand that, which is why liquidity gets priced at a premium."
Liquid Lane uses a request-for-quote system that routes redemption requests to a network of verified market makers. When an investor wants to exit a tokenized position, market makers compete to provide liquidity, with the winning bidder delivering USDC stablecoins immediately while receiving the tokenized asset. The issuer completes settlement in the background. Unlike dedicated liquidity pools, Liquid Lane uses shared collateral that can support multiple issuers while earning redemption spreads, lending income from protocols such as Aave and Morpho, and returns from other Symbiotic-powered applications.
The product addresses a structural bottleneck in the tokenized asset market. While funds and credit products can be transferred instantly onchain, the underlying redemption process remains tied to traditional financial infrastructure, creating a mismatch that has slowed institutional adoption. Citi projects the tokenized securities market could reach $5 trillion by 2030, while a joint report from Boston Consulting Group and Ripple forecasts nearly $19 trillion by 2033 — growth that depends on solving the liquidity problem Liquid Lane targets.
How Liquid Lane Works
Fasanara Capital, the manager behind the tokenized credit fund mGLOBAL, will serve as the first vault curator alongside Avantgarde Finance, Barter and KPK. Midas is the first integrated issuer, while RedStone Settle will connect the system to lending market liquidations. The network's shared collateral model allows it to support multiple issuers simultaneously, earning income from redemption spreads, lending on Aave and Morpho, and other Symbiotic-powered applications.
The launch follows a similar move by Grove, which last month launched Basin, a $1 billion liquidity network backed by BlackRock and Janus Henderson that advances stablecoin liquidity against tokenized fund redemptions. Both products reflect a broader shift in tokenized finance: firms are increasingly building shared liquidity and collateral infrastructure rather than isolated pools around individual products.
Symbiotic emerged in crypto's restaking sector before pivoting to what it now describes as a collateral-markets platform spanning credit, insurance, stablecoins and tokenized assets. The firm says its infrastructure secures more than $550 million across dozens of applications.
"What do we do best as a blockchain industry? We democratize access," Putiatin said. "We give access to something that was not available before, and we streamline it so it's more efficient."
