SharpLink Gaming, a gambling marketing firm, saw its shares drop over 38% despite finalizing a $425 million funding round to acquire Ethereum, positioning itself as the largest publicly traded ETH holder. The investment, led by Consensys and joined by Galaxy Digital and Pantera Capital, marks a strategic pivot toward digital asset treasuries. Despite the stock’s recent volatility—down 62% from last week’s peak but up 1,162% over the past month—the move reflects growing corporate interest in crypto treasuries, following trends set by MicroStrategy and Trump Media. Ethereum, though lagging behind Bitcoin and Solana recently, shows signs of optimism with analysts predicting potential highs of $5,000 by 2025.

SharpLink Gaming (SBET) is aggressively expanding its Ethereum holdings, filing with the SEC to raise up to $1 billion through a common stock offering. The sports betting tech firm recently secured $425 million in private equity to build its ETH treasury and has enlisted Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin as Chairman. This move reflects a growing trend of public companies diversifying into crypto assets, with SharpLink joining firms like BioNexus Gene Lab and BTCS in holding ETH reserves. Backed by major crypto investors including Pantera Capital and Galaxy Digital, SharpLink’s transformation from a nearly delisted $2M company to a crypto-forward firm highlights Ethereum’s rising appeal as a corporate treasury asset. Consensys will serve as strategic advisor, helping integrate blockchain technology into SharpLink’s operations.

TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington has raised alarms over Coinbase’s recent data breach, claiming it “will lead to people dying” due to exposed personal information like home addresses and account balances. The breach coincides with a surge in kidnap attempts targeting high-net-worth crypto holders, including Ledger co-founder David Balland and streamer Amouranth. Arrington blames weak KYC regulations and corporate negligence, urging prison time for executives who fail to protect user data. Coinbase refused a $20M ransom demand and instead offered a reward for the attackers’ arrest. Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan countered that KYC mandates are imposed by regulators, not companies. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the breach as crypto-related crimes escalate.
