title_body: Can Marlowe contracts involve native assets? Can Marlowe contracts involve native assets? For example if I want to issue a bond denominated in USDC
upvoted_answer: Yes.
  Marlowe is essentially a layer over top of Plutus Core and so it can access and/or manipulate anything that Plutus Core based Smart Contracts can access including native assets/tokens. Marlowe is more restrictive than Plutus but only in terms of computation to allow for easier/automated static analysis.
