ETHZilla has taken a huge step into real-world assets. On the Ethereum blockchain, the company launched the Eurus Aero Token I. This token represents two Boeing 737-800 aircraft engines. Since these engines are leased to a major U.S. airline, they already generate steady income. As a result, investors can now access a share of that income directly on the blockchain.
Fractional Ownership Made Simple
The total asset value is $12.2 million. ETHZilla allows accredited investors to buy tokens at $100 each, with a minimum investment of $1,000. Therefore, investors can own a fraction of the aircraft engines without buying an entire engine or aircraft.
Each month, investors receive income from the lease automatically through smart contracts. This process records every payment on Ethereum, making it transparent and secure. In addition, it eliminates much of the paperwork and delays found in traditional aviation leasing.
Ethereum Powers Real-World Assets
Previously, ETHZilla focused on Ethereum treasury management. However, with this token launch, the company has shifted toward real-world asset tokenization. In other words, physical assets like aircraft engines are linked to digital tokens. Consequently, investors can trade or hold tokens while earning a portion of the lease income.
This method gives smaller investors access to markets usually reserved for large institutions. Moreover, blockchain technology reduces errors and speeds up payments, making the system more efficient.
Ethereum Token Opens Illiquid Markets
The aviation leasing market handles billions of dollars each year, but most opportunities are available only to large investors. Which is why ETHZilla’s token changes that. By offering fractional ownership, smaller investors can participate and earn income from real aircraft engines.
Additionally, blockchain allows programmable yield, meaning income flows automatically to investors. As a result, this approach combines real-world cash flow with digital transparency.
Ultimately, the Eurus Aero Token I demonstrates a new way for investors to access tangible assets. Furthermore, as more companies adopt tokenization, this method could unlock trillions of dollars in previously hard-to-access markets. By linking Ethereum blockchain technology with physical assets, ETHZilla is creating a model that is simple, transparent and accessible to a wider range of investors.

Sharplink strongly promotes Ethereum institutional investment strategies: staking yields, stable DeFi returns, and new opportunities for corporate asset allocation
On February 13, it was reported that at the 2026 Hong Kong Consensus Conference, Sharplink Gaming executives emphasized the strategic value of Ethereum (ETH) in institutional investment. Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom pointed out that Ethereum is not only a digital asset investment tool but also an important component of corporate fund management and financial infrastructure.
Lubin emphasized that Ethereum is a productive asset that can generate stable returns through staking. Sharplink has allocated the majority of its Ethereum holdings for staking, with an annualized yield of about 3%, and plans to continue accumulating Ethereum to deploy permanent capital for long-term appreciation. Chalom added that this strategy differs from ETFs or passive investment tools, as it does not chase high-risk projects but seeks the best risk-adjusted returns, embodying the concept of “quality institutional DeFi.”

Digital assets + TradFi full integration: tokenized stocks, USDT settlement, and 24-hour trading reshape the global market
On February 13, it was reported that the global financial system is undergoing a profound restructuring. Digital assets, once considered a "parallel world" to traditional finance (TradFi), have now formed a tightly connected trading network. Cryptocurrencies, born 16 years ago, have evolved from fringe experiments into a vital part of the mainstream capital system and are changing the way funds flow across markets.
The core driver of this trend is the rise of new-generation integrated trading platforms. They break down long-standing asset barriers, enabling more efficient switching between cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, and commodities. Through native digital settlement mechanisms, real-time confirmation, and lower cost structures, investors can achieve multi-asset allocation within the same ecosystem, avoiding frequent transfers of funds between traditional banks and brokerage systems.

Will USDT stablecoin surpass BTC and ETH? Mike McGlone makes a disruptive prediction: digital dollar becoming the new core
On February 13, Bloomberg Industry Research Analyst Mike McGlone stated that USDT stablecoin may surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum in market capitalization and influence in the future, becoming the new dominant force in the crypto market. This view is not based on short-term price fluctuations but stems from long-term observations of global capital structures, liquidity needs, and digital financial trends.
McGlone believes that as market participants place greater emphasis on security, stability, and cross-border efficiency, dollar-pegged stable assets are gaining unprecedented appeal. USDT does not rely on price appreciation to demonstrate its value; its core advantages lie in usage and liquidity: traders move funds into USDT during market volatility, institutions use it as a settlement and hedging tool, and cross-border users see it as a digital alternative to the US dollar.
