Transaction will extend ETHZilla’s tokenized finance framework into residential credit assets with recurring cash flows
PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ETHZilla Corporation (Nasdaq: ETHZ) (“ETHZilla” or the “Company”), a financial technology company building institutional-grade infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization, today announced that it has acquired a portfolio of manufactured and modular home loans from Zippy Manufactured Home Credit Fund I L.P. (“Zippy”).
ETHZilla plans to tokenize the loan portfolio into a cash-flow-generating manufactured home loan token, leveraging Ethereum Layer 2 infrastructure to support on-chain asset tracking and automated cash-flow distribution. The Company intends to launch the token through the Liquidity.io ecosystem in late February/early March.
The acquisition of the manufactured and modular home loan portfolio from Zippy follows ETHZilla’s recent purchase of two CFM56-7B24 aircraft engines on lease with a major air carrier, which it also intends to tokenize and make available on Liquidity.io in the near future. Together, these transactions and their associated first-of-a-kind tradable tokens reflect ETHZilla’s creation of what it believes is a repeatable and scalable framework across multiple real-world asset classes, offering access to new and differentiated income-oriented markets.
“This transaction represents a natural extension of the tokenization strategy we’ve been building, and underscores ETHZilla’s disciplined approach to bringing established, cash-flow-generating assets on-chain,” said McAndrew Rudisill, chairman and chief executive officer of ETHZilla. “Manufactured housing loans offer predictable cash flows and strong underlying collateral, which we believe makes them well suited for tokenization within a regulated, transparent structure.”
Through its newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, ETHZilla Modular Mortgage LLC, the Company acquired 95 manufactured and modular home loans, together with the first-lien mortgages securing the loans, for a total purchase price of approximately $4.7 million. The loans will continue to be serviced by Zippy Loans, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zippy.
The acquired loan portfolio is expected to generate an annualized yield of approximately 10.36%, reflecting contractual interest payments from a seasoned pool of residential credit assets with recurring cash-flow characteristics.
The acquisition builds on ETHZilla’s existing relationship with Zippy. In December 2025, ETHZilla acquired approximately 15% of the fully diluted ownership of Zippy, Inc., the parent company of Zippy Manufactured Home Credit Fund I L.P., strengthening the Company’s access to origination, servicing, and asset-level expertise in the manufactured housing finance market.
