Tokenization Expert: "Europe is blocking innovation"
MERGE Talks #8 | Eric Sánchez
10.09.2026
Will every financial product end up being tokenized? The RWA and real estate revolution in DeFi | MERGE Talks #8
Is it possible to use a house as collateral to request an automatic, instant loan? Why is European regulation pushing startups toward the US or Dubai?
In this new episode of MERGE Talks, we sit down with Eric Sánchez, CEO of Reental, the leading real estate tokenization platform in the Spanish-speaking world. Going beyond real estate, we take a deep dive into how the RWA (Real World Assets) narrative is building a definitive bridge between traditional finance and the DeFi ecosystem.
We analyze everything from the regulatory challenges of the European Pilot Regime and the ERIR figure, to how real assets are integrated into protocols like Aave, proving that public blockchains can be fully compatible with compliance (KYC/AML).
🎙️ About MERGE Talks: MERGE Talks is the official podcast of MERGE, the largest institutional crypto event in Southern Europe and Latin America. We speak with Web3 ecosystem leaders, financial institutions, and regulators to understand how blockchain technology and digital assets are transforming the global economy.
