Former BlackRock crypto chief Joseph Chalom has joined Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink Gaming as co-CEO

Chalom spent two decades at BlackRock, where he led strategic ecosystem partnerships and spearheaded the asset management giant’s push into digital assets and blockchain.

That included helping launch two of the largest Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) –the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the iShares Ethereum Trust – alongside BlackRock’s tokenized money market product BUIDL.

Chalom said on X that he was joining SharpLink on a clear belief that Ethereum is becoming the foundation of global finance.

“Stablecoins, tokenized assets, AI agents, are all moving onchain. And it’s happening on Ethereum,” he said.

“That’s where the future is being built.”

Since SharpLink began its Ethereum treasury strategy, the firm has acquired 438,017 ETH valued at around $1.6 billion.
