Viewpoint: The tokenization of real assets faces the risk of "weekend price misalignment."

According to CoinDesk, Marcin Kaźmierczak, co-founder of the Oracle provider RedStone, warned that as the trend of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) grows, the difference between 24/7 trading in the crypto market and the weekend closures of traditional markets could pose significant risks.

When traditional markets are closed and on-chain trading continues, a major event over the weekend (such as a "Tesla factory explosion") could lead to a "price dislocation" between tokenized stocks and their actual value on Nasdaq. Most Oracles freeze price data after the U.S. market closes at 4 PM on Friday and do not resume updates until Monday, which could result in on-chain protocols trading with outdated prices, creating arbitrage opportunities or causing lending protocols to be under-collateralized.

As more complex asset portfolios go on-chain, this issue may become more severe, necessitating more robust Oracle architectures to manage the gap between open protocols and closed traditional markets.
