Joseph Chalom takes over as co-CEO of Ethereum treasury SharpLink
- Former BlackRock Executive Joins SharpLink to Lead Ethereum Strategy
- SharpLink has $1,3 billion in Ethereum assets
- Strategic partnerships expand institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies
Joseph Chalom, a former managing director at BlackRock, has been named co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, Inc., one of the largest Ethereum treasury companies today. The official announcement was made this Friday, highlighting the move as part of the company's strategy to expand its presence in the crypto-based digital economy.
During his time at BlackRock, Chalom led initiatives focused on integrating digital assets into the firm's institutional portfolio. Among his achievements are strategic partnerships with institutions such as Anchorage Digital Bank, BNY Mellon, Circle, and Coinbase, focusing on expanding innovation in digital products.
I'm especially proud of the work we've done to bring digital assets to a wider audience, pioneering the world's fastest-growing ETPs like IBIT and ETHA, advancing tokenization through BUIDL, and helping build bridges between traditional finance and digital asset networks.
Shalom stated.
SharpLink, chaired by Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum, has sought to solidify its position as a benchmark in cryptocurrency treasury management. In a statement, Lubin highlighted the importance of Chalom's arrival as leader: "Few executives in the world have had the kind of impact Joseph has had on unlocking institutional adoption of digital assets. His decision to join SharpLink is a resounding validation of our ETH treasury strategy."
SharpLink currently manages approximately $1,3 billion in Ethereum, recently surpassed by BitMine, a company backed by Peter Thiel. The move comes at a time of growing institutional interest in Ethereum-based solutions, especially after BlackRock surpassed the $10 billion mark in assets under management in its Ethereum fund.
With this leadership change, SharpLink reinforces its ambition to lead the Ethereum treasury industry on a global scale, connecting traditional finance to decentralized infrastructure through strategies supported by high-caliber professionals.
