The State does not grant us private property rights. The State destroys private property rights through taxation. Private security services and private courts could protect private property rights far better than the State ever could.

Since the State entails taxation, and since taxation is theft, it is an oxymoron to say the State can protect property rights since the State is predicated on destroying them.

With whom is my property registered, and from where is that registering body’s power durived? If the market chooses the most ept registering body, what happens to those with property listed with the bodies that lose in the market for sharp dealing? If one body is designated, who does the designating, and what gives them the right? In any event, how can corruption be avoided? Again, if the market punishes bad actors (which can only be a reaction to bad acts), what happens to those who are harmed? My guess is that ‘market anarchy’ is an oxymoron, property requires a state, and states oppress.
