SharpLink Gaming announced that Joseph Chalom, formerly BlackRock's head of digital assets strategy, is joining as co-CEO. Chalom played a crucial role in launching BlackRock's Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and has expressed his belief that Ethereum will be integral to global finance. Following his arrival, current CEO Rob Phythian will transition to the role of president. SharpLink Gaming emphasizes its strategy focusing on its Ethereum treasury, holding over 360,000 ETH, valued above $1.3 billion, with plans to acquire more through an upcoming stock sale aimed at raising up to $6 billion. Chalom's experience and leadership are expected to enhance institutional adoption of digital assets and drive shareholder value through yield-bearing strategies like staking. In recent performance, shares of SharpLink fell over 6% on the announcement, extending losses for the week, reflecting possible market reactions to the leadership change.
