Odaily Planet Daily reports: At the Consensus 2026 conference in Hong Kong, Sharplink Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom stated that Digital Asset Vaults (DATs) are evolving into a distinct institutional strategy. Lubin noted that ETH is a productive asset that generates approximately 3% yield through staking. Sharplink has staked nearly all of its ETH holdings and plans to continue acquiring and staking ETH. Chalom said Sharplink’s strategy is to deploy permanent capital to seek risk-adjusted returns for investors through “sound institutional DeFi,” rather than pursuing venture-capital-style returns. He mentioned that BlackRock plans to tokenize its $14 trillion in assets, with over 65% of that activity occurring on Ethereum.
Lubin predicts that in the future, every company will become a blockchain company and hold tokens on its balance sheet.
