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

2 hours ago

On December 27, Joseph Chalom—Co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming—tweeted that three key trends could drive a significant jump in Ethereum’s Total Value Locked (TVL) by the end of 2026: the stablecoin market hitting $500 billion, growth in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and rising interest from sovereign wealth funds. Chalom noted tokenized RWAs will reach $300 billion in 2026, with assets under management (AUM) for tokenized assets growing tenfold. The scope will expand from tokenizing individual funds, stocks, and bonds to entire portfolios, he added. ETH holdings by sovereign wealth funds and the scale of tokenization will also surge 5–10 times, per Chalom. A major catalyst: major financial firms including JPMorgan Chase, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock have ramped up their interest in Ethereum over the past year. Notably, SharpLink unstaked 35,627 ETH (valued at $104.4 million) earlier this morning.

Galaxy Research Director: US ETP Performance Stable, Bitcoin Mimicking Gold as Currency Devaluation Hedge Tool Only a Matter of Time

On December 27, Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn noted on X that Bitcoin will need to close above $93,389 on 2025’s final trading day to post positive annual returns. While investor sentiment toward Bitcoin is currently low, some portfolio managers may reassess the crypto in January 2026. Bitcoin has seen a wave of bullish developments this year, with this upward momentum appearing to become the norm. Despite a lackluster year-end showing, U.S. Bitcoin ETPs have remained far more stable. Since hitting a record $62 billion in October, cumulative inflows have only dropped 9%—underscoring the asset class’s growing maturity. Galaxy believes Bitcoin could soon act as a currency depreciation hedge like gold, as top asset allocators and central banks may catalyze this shift.
