Bergen County Bets Big on Blockchain: $240B Real Estate Deeds Head to Avalanche
New Jersey’s Bergen County is making a high-stakes leap into Web3—tokenizing a jaw-dropping $240 billion worth of property deeds on Avalanche’s network. Because paper trails are so 20th century.
Why it matters: This isn’t just about digitizing paperwork. It’s the largest municipal real estate tokenization play to date—a proof-of-concept that could rewrite how local governments handle asset liquidity. Assuming the lawyers don’t sink it first.
The cynical take: Wall Street’s already salivating over the fee potential. Because nothing sparks innovation like the chance to slap ’blockchain’ on a 300-year-old bureaucracy and call it disruption.
