SharpLink (SBET) Stock: Plans $200 Million Ethereum Deployment on Linea Network

2025/10/29 17:41

TLDR

  • SharpLink Gaming (SBET) plans to deploy $200 million of Ether onto Consensys’ Linea network over multiple years to generate onchain yield.
  • The deployment represents 5.6% of SharpLink’s 859,853 ETH treasury, currently valued at $3.57 billion, making it the second-largest corporate Ethereum holder.
  • The company will use ether.fi for staking and restaking, plus EigenCloud for decentralized verification services, with Anchorage Digital Bank as custodian.
  • Yields will come from native staking returns, restaking rewards, and incentives from Linea and partner programs on the zkEVM layer-2 network.
  • The move follows similar DeFi yield strategies by ETHZilla ($100M deployment), the Ethereum Foundation (45,000 ETH), and exchanges like Coinbase and Crypto.com.

SharpLink Gaming announced plans to deploy $200 million worth of Ether from its corporate treasury onto Consensys’ Linea network. The multi-year initiative represents 5.6% of the company’s total ETH holdings.

The Nasdaq-listed company currently holds 859,853 ETH valued at approximately $3.57 billion. This makes SharpLink the second-largest corporate holder of Ethereum, controlling 0.71% of the total supply.

The deployment will use Linea’s zkEVM layer-2 infrastructure. The company expects to generate returns through multiple channels including staking, restaking, and network incentives.

SharpLink will work with ether.fi for staking and restaking services. The company will also tap into EigenCloud’s decentralized verification services.

Staking involves locking up crypto assets to help secure a blockchain network in exchange for rewards. Restaking allows users to reuse their staked assets to support additional services and earn extra returns.

Anchorage Digital Bank will serve as the qualified custodian managing the assets under institutional safeguards. The company emphasized this controls-first approach aligns with governance and compliance requirements for public companies.

Yield Generation Strategy

The strategy combines three main yield streams according to the company. First, SharpLink will earn native staking returns on its Ether holdings.

Second, the company plans to access institutional-grade staking and restaking through ether.fi. Third, it expects to receive incentives from Linea and partner programs.

Linea’s zkEVM design offers faster settlement and lower fees compared to Ethereum’s main network. The company says these features are necessary for institutional workflows.

Industry Trend Toward DeFi Yields

SharpLink isn’t the first major holder to pursue DeFi yield strategies. ETHZilla announced in September it would deploy $100 million of ETH to ether.fi.

ETHZilla currently ranks as the fifth-largest Ethereum treasury holder with 102,326 ETH. The Ethereum Foundation deployed 45,000 ETH into DeFi protocols including Spark and Compound in February.

The foundation’s treasury policy from June outlined plans to move beyond passive holdings. It now stakes and deploys ETH across various DeFi protocols.

Centralized exchanges have joined the trend. Coinbase partnered with DeFi lending protocol Morpho in September to let users lend USDC stablecoins for yields up to 10.8%.

Crypto.com announced plans in October to integrate Morpho into its Cronos blockchain. Users will be able to deposit wrapped ETH and other assets to earn stablecoin yields through lending vaults later this year.

Co-CEO Joseph Chalom said the goal is to unlock staking, restaking and DeFi incentives without sacrificing safeguards. Consensys founder Joseph Lubin, who also serves as SharpLink’s chairman, said Linea aims to make ether deployments more productive.

SharpLink outlined a broader roadmap with Consensys to co-develop capital-markets tools on Linea. These include on-chain capital raises, programmable liquidity tools and tokenized equity strategies as future projects.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
