New Jersey’s Bergen County to Tokenize $240B in Real Estate Deeds on Avalanche Network

Published

on

Bergen County, New Jersey is turning to the Avalanche AVAX network to put its entire property record system on blockchain, claiming to be the largest property deed tokenization project in the U.S.

Under a five-year agreement with land record blockchain firm Balcony, the well-to-do county across the Hudson River from New York city will migrate 370,000 property deeds — representing about $240 billion worth of real estate — onto an immutable, searchable blockchain ledger, according to a press release. The system, powered by Avalanche, will serve nearly a million residents across 70 municipalities.

«This initiative is about improving the lives of our residents,» said John Hogan, County Clerk of Bergen. «By digitizing property records, we are making the process simpler, faster, and more secure for homeowners, businesses, and future generations.»

The move aligns with a broader trend of using blockchain rails for moving and recording ownership of assets like bonds, funds and real estate — a process also known as tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). The tokenized asset market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033, with real estate amounting to a significant share, a recent report by Boston Consulting Group and Ripple projected. Most recently, the Dubai Land Department debuted a real estate tokenization platform built on the XRP Ledger XRP network as part of its strategy to bring 7% of all real estate transactions, worth roughly $16 billion, to blockchain rails.

Balcony, which has already introduced similar systems in several counties across New Jersey, claims that its blockchain-based platform can cut deed processing time by 90% while addressing risks like fraud and record discrepancies. It can boost municipal revenue, too: the platform detected almost $1 million in lost municipal revenue in Orange, NJ, previously hidden due to incomplete or outdated property records, the company said.

«Blockchain is continuing to solve complex, real-world problems,» said Luigi D’Onorio DeMeo, chief strategy officer of ecosystem development organization Ava Labs. «[Avalanche’s] infrastructure is built to handle large amounts of data quickly and securely, which is exactly what’s needed to modernize how property records are managed and transform how public institutions operate.»

Last year, California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) digitized 42 million of car titles on Avalanche to modernize the state’s title transfer process with software development firm Oxhead Alpha.

  • A powerful breakout occurred during the 13:00 hour, with BCH surging to $416.958 on the highest hourly volume (28,068 units).
  • Price established a new resistance-turned-support level at $409.800, with momentum indicators suggesting potential for continued upside.
  • A bull flag pattern formed after the initial impulse move, with decreasing volume during consolidation suggesting potential continuation.
  • The $413.000-$413.500 zone represents a key support level that bulls need to defend to maintain upward momentum.

Crypto’s Most Watched Whale Gets Fully Liquidated After Placing Billions in Risky Bets

Published

By

James Wynn, the trader whose risky moves on Hyperliquid captivated crypto watchers this month, has been fully liquidated.

He ended a volatile month with just $23 left in his account, according to HyperDash data.

Wynn built his reputation and following by placing massive, leveraged on-chain trades across bitcoin BTC, PEPE PEPE, and other tokens.

His downfall began with a $1.25 billion long position on BTC that unraveled as prices dropped below $105,000 amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. That trade alone cost him more than $37 million after fees.

The trader briefly pivoted to memecoins like PEPE, where one long position initially gained over 10%, before market swings liquidated him again.

Over the course of the month, Wynn cycled through assets including ETH, SUI, TRUMP, and even FARTCOIN. His trades at one point saw him achieve an unrealized gain of $85 million.

An account associated with Wynn on X commented on the liquidation and dismissed the losses. “I’ll run it back, I always do. And I’ll enjoy doing it. I like playing the game,” the account wrote on X. “I took a large and calculated bet at making billions.”
