SharpLink Gaming announces Joseph Chalom as new Co-CEO
In the rapidly evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), SharpLink Gaming is making a significant move towards Ethereum-centric assets.
The initiative, led by the new Co-CEO, Joseph Chalom - formerly of BlackRock - aims to provide institutional access to Ethereum yields. Chalom's appointment marks a shift in focus for SharpLink, with an emphasis on native Ethereum staking and re-staking. This move underscores SharpLink's commitment to integrating Ethereum in institutional DeFi.
Chalom, with his extensive experience in digital assets strategy, is set to activate SharpLink's Ethereum reserves and transition the company into a compliant institutional DeFi gateway. This transition is expected to deepen SharpLink's engagement with Ethereum, leveraging Chalom's expertise.
Meanwhile, in the Ethereum ecosystem, an Ethereum whale withdrew a staggering $188 million worth of ETH from OKX in just five days. This transaction, while not directly linked to SharpLink, underscores the growing interest in Ethereum among large-scale investors.
Elsewhere, ETHZilla invested $100 million in EtherFi to boost ETH Treasury, signalling a corporate strategy evolution towards DeFi-centered assets. The US Treasury, too, has launched rulemaking for stablecoin regulation, indicating a growing interest in regulating the DeFi space.
Fidelity's Tokenized Fund FDIT has surpassed $200 million in Assets Under Management (AUM), demonstrating institutional interest in DeFi investments. Coinbase's Base Layer 2 is also exploring native token issuance, further pushing the boundaries of DeFi.
On the regulatory front, the EU has included cryptocurrencies in sanctions against Russia, marking a significant step in the recognition and regulation of digital assets.
In the realm of cryptocurrency research and journalism, John Kojo Kumi, a cryptocurrency researcher and writer, continues to provide in-depth coverage of DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 innovations. Kojo Kumi, who holds a Bachelor of Arts in Geography and Rural Development from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, is a specialist in emerging startups, tokenomics, and market dynamics within the blockchain ecosystem.
However, not all news in the DeFi space is positive. An Ethereum UTXO Distribution Analysis was debunked due to a lack of primary sources, highlighting the importance of reliable data in the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
Lastly, BitGo, a digital asset custody company, has filed for an IPO and plans to list on the NYSE. The filing reveals a major revenue surge, indicating a growing demand for secure digital asset custody solutions.
In conclusion, the DeFi space is witnessing a flurry of activity, with SharpLink Gaming leading the charge towards Ethereum-centric institutional DeFi. The future of DeFi is promising, with regulation, investment, and innovation driving its growth.
