Q: What types of assets is ETHZilla planning on tokenizing, and when can we expect to see that happen? A: We have a large queue of assets ready for tokenization, focusing initially on aerospace assets due to their high returns. We are also targeting consumer credit receivables and real estate, which are already securitized and generate high yields. Additionally, we are exploring partnerships with private equity platforms to bring their funds onto our platform. – McAndrew Rudeil, CEO
Q: Can you explain the business model for tokenization and the capital required to get it off the ground? A: The total addressable market is enormous, with trillions of dollars globally. We plan to tokenize assets in pools of $25 to $100 million. Initially, we will need to seed these tokens on our balance sheet, but once opened on liquidity, institutional and accredited investors can invest. We generate revenue by holding assets, managing tokens, and through a carry structure similar to private equity. – McAndrew Rudeil, CEO
