Hot take from the MERC mod desk: most tokenized real estate is narrative. Change our mind.

Tokenization pitch decks love real estate. But fractional property tokens mostly recreate a REIT with worse liquidity and murkier rights — the hard parts (title, tenants, local law) stay off-chain no matter what the token does.

Where we think it actually works: assets that already settle badly. Private credit, commodity warehouse receipts, funds with 90-day redemption windows. Slow, paper-heavy settlement is the disease; on-chain transfer is a real cure there.

And yes — we build RWA marketplace tech, so we have skin in this. That's exactly why we'd rather be honest about which half of the sector is real.

Which asset makes YOUR 'actually better on-chain' list — and which one is pure deck-ware? Argue with us.
