ETHZilla enters strategic partnership with Liquidity.io

ETHZilla (ETHZ) announced a strategic partnership with Liquidity.io, a regulated broker-dealer and operator of a Digital Alternative Trading System, or ATS, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Satschel. The partnership is expected to accelerate ETHZilla’s institutional-grade tokenization capabilities, enabling secure, compliant, and liquid access to real-world assets through Ethereum Layer 2 networks. The partnership will include a $15M investment by ETHZilla in Satschel, $5M in cash and $10M in equity. By connecting ETHZilla’s decentralized infrastructure and Liquidity.io’s compliant digital-asset distribution network, this partnership is expected to enable investors to access yield-bearing tokenized RWAs under full regulatory oversight. As part of the transaction, ETHZilla will invest $15M to acquire a 15% stake in Satschel, Inc., with right of first refusal to acquire additional equity in future funding rounds. In addition, ETHZilla will secure the exclusive right to list Ethereum L2 tokens on the exchange.
