MarketWatch puts CWD’s 65-day average volume at 154,670 shares, with a public float of 8.28 million. Thursday’s volume was over 24 times that float before mid-morning. That’s notable, as it suggests the move was a liquidity event in a tiny stock—not a typical reset of the shareholder list.
Caliber said it will use Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine to tie together identity, policy enforcement, compliance and reporting for digital asset workflows. CEO Chris Loeffler said, “Tokenization matters if it makes real investing better,” and named valuation and liquidity as the main issues Caliber aims to fix for private real estate funds. Liam Karwan, who heads real-world assets and stablecoins at Chainlink Labs, said tokenization is “more than creating digital representations of assets.” CaliberCos Inc.
