In Q2, Sharplink doubled down in activating our treasury and ushering in a new Ethereum era.
From ETH productivity partnerships to investing in companies driving institutional adoption, this was a positive quarter of building momentum and helping accelerate the institutional adoption supercycle.
A snapshot:
→ $11.5M in quarterly revenue as of June 30
→ 888,938 ETH holdings as of August 3
→ 24,755 in cumulative staking rewards as of August 3

We don't just hold ETH. We make it productive and work with the best partners out there.
Proud of the teams at @sharplink and @galaxyhq for getting this new fund in flight.
In May, we announced our plans to partner with @GalaxyHQ and launch the Galaxy Sharplink Onchain Yield Fund. Now, the first investments have been identified and deployments are starting.
This first-of-its-kind $125M institutional fund is investing ETH into risk-managed onchain yield strategies, designed to make our ETH even more productive.
$100M from our staked treasury. $25M from Galaxy Digital. All managed by Galaxy, one of the largest publicly-traded companies allocating to onchain strategies today.

Conventional banking wasn't built for the speed of machine-to-machine commerce.
Stablecoins and smart contracts are. They let AI agents send payments and settle transactions automatically, with no human in the loop.
@joechalom joins @tanayamacheel of @CNBC to explain why the agentic revolution has to run on blockchains like #Ethereum#.

Always a pleasure to sit down with @AlexNwaka.
BlackRock's announcement yesterday tokenizing existing money market funds with billions of AUM is a step-function signal for Ethereum and the institutional adoption supercycle.
We are going from tens of billions, to hundreds of billions, to trillions of tokenized assets, and they are going to launch on Ethereum.

20+ years at BlackRock. Now CEO of @Sharplink.
@joechalom joins @AlexNwaka to discuss Ethereum, tokenization, and why institutional adoption is only getting started.
Watch:
Ethereum's blockspace is one of its most valuable commodities. Sharplink supports innovation in this area as the institutional supercycle unlocks step-function growth for the ecosystem. That's why we're investing in @BlockSpace_ETH and their all-star team.

$30B+ in RWAs onchain today. Trillions are coming.
The institutional supercycle is here.
BlackRock has launched two tokenized money market funds.
The $6.2 billion BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund (BSTBL) now has a tokenized share class issued on @ethereum, with BNY as transfer agent and tokenization provider.
A second vehicle, BRSRV, launches alongside it, with Securitize as transfer agent and tokenization provider.
Both invest in cash, short-term US Treasuries, and overnight repo backed by Treasuries, and both intend to qualify as eligible reserve assets for permitted US payment stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act.
BlackRock at a glance:
→ Over $15 trillion in assets under management
→ More than $1 trillion overseen by its Cash Management business
→ Around $60 billion in stablecoin reserves already managed
The world's largest asset manager and the world's largest custodian are both building on Ethereum.

3.6 billion transactions. Trillions of dollars settled. Zero downtime.
The most security, trust, and liquidity.
It's a new era for Ethereum.
You're growin' up fast, kid. I remember when I could fit you on my laptop and bounce you on my knee. Could never get you to sleep back then. Still nobody can.
Gonna get you a nice ZK prover for your birthday. Happy 11th.

The crypto industry is starved for permanent capital, and @Sharplink's discipline and structure is uniquely suited to fill this gap.
Really enjoyed this conversation with @fintechfrank on how to run a DAT the right way and why I am so bullish on the Ethereum ecosystem.

Ethereum's institutional moment is here.
I sat down with Joseph Chalom (@joechalom), CEO of @SharpLink and former BlackRock crypto partnerships lead, on @GSR's The Crypto Tape to unpack why he believes ETH has a license to win.
Give it a listen.

“Ethereum has the characteristics that institutions need. I don't know a lot for certain in life, but I spent 20 years at BlackRock. And I know for sure, before you move financial rails that are 40, 50, 60 years old, you want it to move to something that's trusted, always on, secure, with the most liquidity.”
Enjoyed the opportunity to join the @ThinkCryptoPod and talk about Ethereum's advantages as the institutional supercycle picks up steam.

Always a pleasure to be on @_TalkingTokens with @jacqmelinek.
The Ethereum institutional supercycle is expanding, and @Sharplink is proud to step up and drive the momentum forward.
Thanks to @TylerCompiler and @btctreasuries for having me on. There's room for both BTC and ETH treasury companies, and we're glad to be building on what @saylor has pioneered.
Excited for what's ahead in this new Ethereum era.

We are proud to make another Ethereum ecosystem investment to accelerate the institutional adoption supercycle.
Building on our recent support for @ethlabs and @ethinsti, @eth_systems provides another critical piece of the puzzle for the new Ethereum era.

Sharplink has anchored the launch of @eth_systems, alongside @BitMNR and @ethereumjoseph, to build the technology that makes best-in-class privacy a standard on Ethereum.
On a public ledger, the default is full exposure, which does not work for all financial institutions. That’s why this work is so critical.

Capital markets are measured in tens, if not hundreds, of trillions. The story isn't just about Ethereum holding over 50% market share of stablecoins, RWAs, etc. It's about growing that share as the pie gets much, much larger.
Glad to discuss with @BitcoinJesusETH and @ethereumJoseph on @milkroaddaily. Thanks for having me.

Ethereum's biggest catalyst isn't another ETF. It's demand.
@ethereumJoseph says the next wave won't come from traders; it'll come from AI agents, tokenized assets, stablecoins, and institutions settling trillions onchain.
If that plays out, today's price looks very different in a few years.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements to come.
This is the Summer of Ethereum Love.

Every time I come to Korea, I spend time with builders and startups. No country in the world has such an innovative, technology-forward culture. The talent is incredible and the enthusiasm is unbelievable. This could be the next wave of innovation for South Korea. South Korea has the license to become a top digital asset hub. Thanks to 3ProTV for having me on to discuss:
서울에서의 좋은 대화. 한국의 혁신 생태계에 대해 제가 느낀 점입니다. 한국을 방문할 때마다 스타트업 창업자들과 빌더들을 꼭 만나 시간을 보냅니다. 이처럼 혁신적이고 기술 중심적인 문화를 가진 나라는 세계 어디에서도 찾아보기 어렵습니다. 뛰어난 인재들이 많고, 열정 또한 놀라울 정도입니다. 이러한 에너지가 한국 혁신의 다음 물결을 만들어낼 수 있다고 생각합니다. 한국은 최고의 디지털 자산 허브로 도약할 잠재력을 갖추고 있습니다. 좋은 대화를 나눌 수 있도록 해주신 3ProTV 에 감사드립니다.
