ETHZilla Shifts to Real Estate Tokenization, Secures $4.7 Million Housing Loan Agreement

Odaily News Ethereum treasury company ETHZilla (ETHZ) is accelerating its deployment in asset tokenization, investing $4.7 million to acquire a portfolio of 95 manufactured and modular home loans. The company plans to tokenize these loans on the Ethereum Layer-2 network and issue cash-flow digital tokens to investors through the regulated trading platform Liquidity.io. This loan portfolio is secured by first-lien mortgages, with an expected annualized yield of approximately 10%. ETHZilla Chairman and CEO McAndrew Rudisill stated that this transaction is a natural extension of the company's tokenization strategy, noting that manufactured home loans feature stable cash flows and strong collateral assets, making them highly suitable for tokenization within a regulated, transparent framework.

This move by ETHZilla comes after a significant decline in its core crypto assets. The company's stock price has fallen over 90% from its August 2025 high of $107. Last year, it sold over $110 million worth of ETH for stock buybacks and debt repayment. Previously, ETHZilla also invested in the manufactured home loan company Zippy and acquired two jet engines slated for tokenization, demonstrating its continued advancement in the direction of diversifying physical asset tokenization.
