Tokens priced at $100 each (minimum 10) target an approximate 11% return and deliver monthly cash distributions from engine lease payments through 2028.
The offering is issued by ETHZilla Aerospace, distributed via the Liquidity.io ecosystem, secured by engines, lease receivables, reserves, and insurance, and initially offered to accredited investors under Regulation D.
ETHZilla (Nasdaq: ETHZ) acquired 95 manufactured and modular home loans and first‑lien mortgages from Zippy for approximately $4.7 million via new subsidiary ETHZilla Modular Mortgage LLC.

Servicing will remain with Zippy Loans, LLC. The transaction follows ETHZilla's recent tokenization-targeted aircraft-engine purchases and builds on a prior ~15% ownership stake in Zippy, aiming to scale tokenized, income-generating real-world assets.
