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

Odaily News: Ethereum digital asset treasury ETHZilla (ETHZ) is accelerating its deployment in asset tokenization. It has invested $4.7 million to acquire a portfolio of 95 manufactured and modular housing loans, with plans to tokenize these loans on the Ethereum Layer-2 network. The resulting cash-flow digital tokens will be issued to investors through the regulated trading platform Liquidity.io.

The loan portfolio is secured by first-lien mortgages, with an expected annualized return of approximately 10%. ETHZilla's Chairman and CEO, McAndrew Rudisill, stated that this transaction is a natural extension of the company's tokenization strategy. Manufactured housing loans offer stable cash flow and strong collateral assets, making them highly suitable for tokenization within a regulated and 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 more than $110 million worth of ETH for stock buybacks and debt repayment. Previously, ETHZilla also invested in the manufactured housing loan company Zippy and acquired two jet engines for future tokenization, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to diversifying into the tokenization of physical assets.
