 This is a single pilot with limited duration (6 months) and geographic scope (Dubai). The 26% APY is self-reported and annualized from a short time window, making it vulnerable to seasonality bias. The asset class (vehicles) has high depreciation risk and carsharing revenue depends on operator performance and local market conditions. Scalability beyond pilot stage is unproven. The mandatory buyback clause creates exit certainty but limits upside capture.

+Areal Finance's Futardio launch description confirms completion of vehicle tokenization pilot in Dubai as 'proven concept with a completed pilot' and states this was 'full cycle from asset registration to token issuance.' The project positioned this as validation before seeking $50K for MVP development.

 This is an unproven mechanism with no live implementation. The claim that index tokens solve RWA liquidity fragmentation assumes sufficient project adoption and that yield aggregation creates meaningful liquidity depth. The 5% yield cut may create adverse selection if high-quality RWA projects avoid the platform in favor of competitors. Treasury sustainability projections are theoretical and based on team assumptions about adoption rates and yield generation. The mechanism has not been tested under market conditions.

+Areal Finance launched on Futardio seeking $50,000 for a DeFi Hub that unifies RWA liquidity through RWT (Real World Token), which aggregates yield from all RWA projects into a single appreciating token. The launch failed to reach its funding target, raising only $1,350 (2.7% of goal) before entering refund status. This provides empirical evidence of the market reception to the unified RWA liquidity thesis.
