Sharplink has appointed a former BlackRock executive, Joseph Chalom, as its new co-CEO, the day after BitMine announced a $2 billion purchase of Ethereum. Chalom brings 20 years of experience from BlackRock, where he was managing director and focused on digital assets. His role at Sharplink will involve shaping its strategy in public markets and Ethereum-based infrastructure. The timing of this hire is significant, coinciding with the growing competition between Sharplink and BitMine, with BitMine recently surpassing Sharplink's total Ether holdings of 360,807 ETH. This fierce rivalry highlights the escalating race among companies to accumulate Ether as they ramp up investments in crypto assets. Chalom emphasized his commitment to innovative financial technologies and aligning with the Ethereum ecosystem, bolstering Sharplink's position in this competitive landscape.
