SharpLink Co-CEO: Ethereum TVL May Grow 10x by 2026

2025-12-27 by admin

BlockBeats News, December 27th, SharpLink Gaming Co-CEO Joseph Chalom tweeted that the surge in stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, and growing interest from sovereign wealth funds could drive a significant increase in Ethereum TVL by the end of 2026, with the stablecoin market size reaching $500 billion.

Joseph Chalom stated that tokenized RWAs will reach $300 billion by 2026, with the managed scale of tokenized assets growing tenfold, expanding from tokenization of individual funds, stocks, and bonds to tokenization of entire fund portfolios. The amount of ETH held by sovereign wealth funds and the scale of tokenization will increase 5-10 times. Over the past year, growing interest from financial services companies including JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock in Ethereum has been a major catalyst.

Notably, SharpLink unstaked 35,627 ETH this morning, valued at $104.4 million.

PANews reported on December 31 that Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, wrote on the X platform: "Typically, during these last holiday trading sessions, many institutional investors exit the market, and algorithmic trading programs and bot trading programs begin to dominate the market, along with sell-offs for tax avoidance. These constitute the market dynamics in the last few days of December." Previously, in BitMine's announcement of acquiring 44,463 ETH last week, Tom Lee mentioned that market activity tends to slow down as the year enters its final weeks of holiday season. Year-end tax-avoidance selling depresses cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-related stock prices, with this effect typically most pronounced between December 26th and December 30th; therefore, they are adjusting their market strategy accordingly. Earlier today, it was reported that Bitmine pledged another 118,944 ETH and increased its holdings by 32,938 ETH .
