SharpLink, a Nasdaq-listed firm with one of the largest Ethereum treasuries, today announced plans to deploy $200 million worth of Ethereum through a strategic partnership with Linea.

The deployment will leverage Linea, a Layer-2 scaling network for Ethereum developed by ConsenSys, to capture both native staking rewards and enhanced DeFi yields.

The firm has tokenized its equity as SBET directly on Ethereum, signaling a broader commitment to on-chain institutional-grade finance. SBET offers investors institutional-grade, leveraged exposure to ETH.

SharpLink’s entry into the Linea Consortium gives it influence over Layer-2 governance and a prominent role in shaping Ethereum’s scaling landscape.

Collaborations with EtherFi, a liquid restaking protocol, and EigenLayer, a leading Ethereum restaking protocol, enable SharpLink to access restaking rewards by securing third-party services and EigenCloud AVSs.
