ETHZilla Launches Aircraft Engine Cash Flow RWA Token

Odaily Planet Daily News: Nasdaq-listed company ETHZilla (ETHZ) announced that it will launch Eurus Aero Token I this week, tokenizing the monthly cash flow generated from leasing aircraft engines to provide on-chain yield exposure for investors.

The token is issued by a subsidiary, ETHZilla Aerospace, and is backed by two commercial aircraft engines leased to a “leading American airline.” Token holders will receive monthly cash flow distributions derived from base rent and usage fees through ERC-20 tokens.

ETHZilla is supported by Founders Fund, founded by Peter Thiel. The company was previously known for its Ethereum reserve strategy but has gradually shifted toward tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) since last year. Previously, the company completed a pilot asset tokenization involving 95 residential loans.

As the blockchain industry accelerates the onboarding of traditional assets, RWA is regarded as one of the fastest-growing sectors. Ark Invest predicts that by the 2030s, tokenized assets could reach a scale of $11 trillion, compared to the current market size of approximately $22 billion.
