Inside ETHZilla’s Master Plan to Build a True Ethereum Yield Curve (Exclusive Interview)
In an exclusive interview, we had the chance to speak with McAndrew Rudisill, the incoming chairman of ETHZilla’s board of directors. The company recently completed a $425 million PIPE financing backed by over 60 institutional and crypto-native investors.
ETHZilla’s ambitious goal is to build a true Ethereum yield curve, an innovative approach that diverges from traditional staking methods. In this interview, Rudisill outlines the company’s strategy, emphasizing its commitment to Ethereum as a sole reserve asset.
Rudisill explained that ETHZilla aims to generate higher yields than traditional ETH staking through proprietary Ethereum network-based strategies. These include staking, lending, liquidity provisioning, and private agreements. While risk parameters and expected yield bands are not publicly disclosed at this time, Rudisill emphasized the company’s dedication to creating a true Ethereum yield curve.
The partnership with the DeFi Council was also discussed during the interview. Although their input will be advisory rather than binding, Rudisill assured that accountability and transparency in treasury deployment will be maintained publicly. The council’s members have invested in ETHZilla, bringing a diverse range of expertise to the table.
ETHZilla has chosen to focus exclusively on Ethereum as its reserve asset, eschewing Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. When asked about this decision, Rudisill explained that Ethereum’s inherent yield and potential for increased transaction volume due to real-world assets being brought on-chain make it an attractive choice. He believes that building a true Ethereum yield curve will have a positive impact on the price of ETH.
Rudisill also shared his expectations regarding ETH’s future performance. Although he did not provide a specific year-end price target, he emphasized that ETHZilla is focused on long-term growth and plans to ride the trend of increasing network adoption.
ETHZilla has confirmed its commitment to Ethereum-only treasury strategy, bucking the trend of altcoin diversification seen in some other market participants.
