Research summary
We reject RealT because the platform is in active voluntary liquidation. RealT tokenized fractional ownership of individual rental properties concentrated in Detroit through per-property Delaware series LLCs and distributed weekly rental income in stablecoins. That model has collapsed. The City of Detroit filed a nuisance-abatement lawsuit in July 2025 covering 408 properties alleged to lack compliance certificates. RealT suspended investor payouts in February 2026, telling investors “the model no longer works.” A court appointed a special fiduciary over roughly 700 properties in April 2026. RealT’s co-founder announced voluntary liquidation of the entire ~$140M portfolio on 2026-07-02. Separately, reporting has documented specific false claims about deeds and occupancy: a batch of 25 properties offered in January 2025 showed RealT as the county-recorded owner of only 3 of the 25, and USPS occupancy data showed 14 of 25 vacant while RealT’s own reporting listed 24 of 25 as occupied. This is not a live product with open questions. It is a realized failure with an active French class-action effort and a criminal fraud complaint filed with the Paris judicial court. Given the active wind-down, this entry is reviewed on a 30-day cycle instead of this registry’s usual quarterly schedule.
Observable review triggers
