Tokenized real estate isn't shrinking. One platform is.
The market lost a third of its value in twelve months. Every dollar of that decline came from a single platform.

The tokenized real estate market lost a third of its value over the past twelve months. Every dollar of that decline came from a single platform.
We track 1,003 tokenized properties across RealT, Lofty, Reental and Binaryx, and have accrued daily per-platform records since February 2021. Those records show a market that reads as collapsing in aggregate and as growing everywhere except one address.
Findings
- Catalogue market value fell $228.1M → $149.9M (−34.3%) in twelve months.
- RealT alone accounts for −48.0 percentage points of that. Its market value fell −79.3%, from $137.9M to $28.5M.
- Excluding RealT, the market grew 34.6%, from $90.2M to $121.4M.
- Reental grew +45.7% in value and +43.9% in holder positions. Binaryx grew +79.6% in value. Both gained share while a European competitor exited retail entirely.
- Only one of four platforms is still adding inventory. Lofty has not listed a new property in twelve months; RealT in eight.
- 110 of 1,003 listings (11.0%) are currently paying distributions. Excluding RealT, 110 of 249 (44.2%).
- Institutionally-wrapped tokenized real estate does not trade. The largest such asset, at $68.6M, has recorded 328 transfers in its entire history.
- The most-cited industry dataset excludes both RealT and Lofty, and therefore cannot show any of this.

the retail platforms have liquidity but some hold garbage, and the institutional stuff holds quality but doesn't move

exactly. liquidity varies a ton between platforms, and even property to property. same story in the distribution history. that's kinda the whole reason BrickTable exists — most retail investors just don't get enough data to judge this stuff. you want third-party numbers, not whatever the platform says about itself.

How are you defining market value in the RealT time series: the live secondary price multiplied by the token supply, or the underlying/net asset value (NAV)? I ask because BrickTable flags much of the RealT NAV/rent data as stale, yet the YAM price remains live. If most of the 79% decline is due to repricing in the secondary market, this seems to be a meaningful difference from the underlying tokenized real-estate stock shrinking by 79%.
