BlackRock’s Crypto Guru Joins ETH Powerhouse: Co-CEO of SharpLink

In a move that will undoubtedly cause a stir in the world of digital finance, BlackRock veteran Joseph Chalom has ascended to the lofty title of co-CEO at SharpLink, the undisputed champion of corporate Ethereum (ETH) holdings. Bravo, Joseph! 🎩

Chalom, who will now be joined at the helm by none other than co-founder and co-CEO Rob Phythian, is already declaring that Ethereum (ETH) is set to become the “foundation” of global finance. Let’s all pretend we didn’t see that one coming, shall we? 🙄

The Man Who Helped BlackRock “Get Crypto” 💼

Joining BlackRock back in the rather distant year of 2005, Chalom took on the Herculean task of shaping and managing the firm’s digital asset strategy. And when we say Herculean, we mean it—he was steering the ship at the intersection of fintech, data ecosystems, and everything “digital.” Talk about a jack-of-all-trades! 👨‍💼

On his social media platform (because that’s where all the important business deals are made these days), Chalom graciously shared that his fingerprints were all over the launch of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF. And don’t forget BUILD—the leading tokenization fund! So, yes, he’s basically the wizard behind BlackRock’s crypto pivot. 🧙‍♂️

According to Barron’s (who, let’s face it, know a thing or two), Chalom bid farewell to BlackRock in June. What an absolute whirlwind! 💨

ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin has chimed in, stating that Chalom’s bold decision to join SharpLink is a “massive” vote of confidence for Ethereum. I mean, if a CEO says so, it must be true, right? 😉

The Reigning King of ETH Holders 👑

SharpLink Gaming, which recently rebranded itself as an Ethereum treasury company in May (because why not?), now holds the crown as the leading corporate holder of ETH. Move over, Ethereum Foundation, there’s a new sheriff in town. 🏆

In July, SharpLink Gaming reached a milestone that most companies can only dream of—surpassing the Ethereum Foundation itself in corporate ETH holdings. Yes, you read that right. It’s now the ETH heavyweight champion! 💪

And in case you missed it, Chalom has been crystal clear about SharpLink’s vision: this is not just about hoarding Ethereum like a digital dragon. No, no—it’s about “activating” ETH with native staking, restaking, and other yield strategies. Because who wants to simply sit on their assets when they can make them work for their money? 💸

“We’re building a bridge between institutional capital and Ethereum-native yield, packaged in a single public equity,” Chalom proudly declared. Is this the future of finance, or just another corporate pitch? Only time will tell. ⏳
