ETHZilla (ETHZ), a digital asset treasury firm centered on Ethereum, is advancing its efforts in tokenization by acquiring a $4.7 million portfolio of manufactured and modular home loans.
The organization aims to tokenize the 95-loan portfolio on an Ethereum layer-2 network, with the goal of converting the loans into cash-flow-generating digital tokens accessible through Liquidity.io, a regulated broker-dealer and trading system, as per an announcement shared with CoinDesk on Thursday.

According to the firm, the loans, which are secured by first-lien mortgages, are anticipated to yield around 10% annually.
"This transaction signifies a logical progression of the tokenization strategy we have been developing," stated McAndrew Rudisill, chairman and CEO of ETHZilla.
"Manufactured housing loans provide reliable cash flows and solid underlying collateral, which we believe makes them ideal for tokenization within a regulated, transparent framework."
ETHZilla’s movement towards tokenization follows a notable decline in its principal crypto assets. Its stock has decreased by over 90% from a peak of $107 in August 2025, and it sold in excess of $110 million in ETH last year to support buybacks and debt repayments.
The company has laid out plans to create a regulated structure for tokenizing a variety of assets, including aircraft engines and auto loans, in a letter to shareholders from December. The recently acquired home loan portfolio follows ETHZilla’s earlier investment in Zippy, a manufactured home lender, and comes after a similar acquisition of two jet engines that the company also plans to tokenize.
