Joseph Chalom, former head of digital assets strategy at BlackRock, is now co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, an Ethereum treasury company. Chalom previously helped establish BlackRock's Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and aims to leverage his expertise to enhance SharpLink’s long-term shareholder value by utilizing Ethereum through various yield strategies. With more than 360,000 ETH valued at over $1.3 billion, SharpLink is focused on expanding its treasury, having recently acquired nearly 80,000 ETH. The move marks a strategic shift for SharpLink as current CEO Rob Phythian transitions to president. Chalom's reputation for unlocking institutional interest in digital assets was noted by SharpLink Chairman and ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin, who expressed confidence in the future of Ethereum under Chalom's leadership. Despite the significant experience Chalom brings, shares of SharpLink have seen a decline of over 6% on the day of the announcement.
