Ethra Ship, a digital maritime technologies company, today launched a RWA protocol for maritime capital markets. The two-layer blockchain ecosystem connects crypto and institutional investors to operating maritime assets, and is backed by Ethra Invest, which has been building its maritime investments and operations since 2021.
The protocol is the digital infrastructure built on top of that existing business. The company has been acquiring, managing, and commercially operating a portfolio of dry bulk vessels for over four years, generating real-time Charter Equivalent (TCE) revenue, a vessel’s average daily revenue, building operational infrastructure, and establishing a track record that most tokenization projects have never had. The Ethra Ship Protocol is the digital layer built on top of that foundation.
Maritime shipping assets have historically been accessible only to institutional capital with its high minimums, limited transparency, and no on-chain infrastructure. The Ethra Ship Protocol opens the asset class to the broader public through a two-tier architecture: a governance layer open to any participant, and a regulated RWA investment layer for eligible investors seeking direct exposure to operating vessel portfolios via structured SPVs.
