ETHZilla Launches Tokenized Jet-Engine Lease Offering on Arbitrum

Access is limited to accredited buyers as the underlying U.S. airline remains confidential.

Overview

  • ETHZilla Aerospace debuted Eurus Aero Token I on Arbitrum via Liquidity.io, offering 30,000 tokens at $100 each with a $1,000 minimum purchase.
  • Token holders are entitled to monthly on-chain distributions from leases on two CFM56 engines through 2028, with a targeted return near 11% and a disclaimer that outcomes may vary.
  • Collateral spans the engines, lease receivables, reserves and insurance, and the leases include a $3 million per‑engine put/call at term that may return additional capital.
  • The company acquired the engines for about $12.2 million and arranged servicing and end‑of‑lease maintenance with Aero Engine Solutions, keeping the assets unlevered.
  • Participation is restricted to accredited investors, and early reporting observed little initial activity on Arbiscan as the lessee’s identity remains undisclosed.
