February 13 News, at the 2026 Hong Kong Consensus Conference, Sharplink Gaming executives emphasized the strategic value of Ethereum (ETH) in institutional investment. Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom pointed out that Ethereum is not only a digital asset investment tool but also an important component of corporate fund management and financial infrastructure.
Lubin emphasized that Ethereum is a productive asset that can generate stable returns through staking. Sharplink has allocated most of its ETH holdings for staking, with an annualized yield of approximately 3%, and plans to continue accumulating ETH to deploy permanent capital for long-term appreciation. Chalom added that this strategy differs from ETFs or passive investment tools, which do not chase high-risk projects but seek the best risk-adjusted returns, embodying the concept of “quality institutional DeFi.”
The executives stated that Ethereum will play a central role in future tokenized finance. According to BlackRock’s forecast, the global tokenized asset market will reach $14 trillion, with over 65% concentrated in the Ethereum ecosystem. Sharplink achieves stable and controllable returns through long-term capital locking and on-chain management, while supporting the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Lubin also compared the current stage of blockchain applications to the early days of the internet. He pointed out that in the future, every company will become a “blockchain company,” and tokens held on corporate balance sheets will gradually increase, with demand for advanced on-chain fund management tools rising significantly. Ethereum is not only a financial asset but also a platform for driving corporate growth and infrastructure development.
Sharplink’s strategy reflects Ethereum’s potential as an institutional investment tool: during market volatility, investors can achieve substantial returns through staking and DeFi strategies while supporting ecosystem development. The executives believe this approach will become a core asset management strategy for enterprises and institutions in the digital asset era.
