Foresight News reported that SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom and Joseph Lubin, founder of Consensys, the parent company of MetaMask, expressed their views on Ethereum’s prospects and tokenization trends at the Consensus 2026 conference. According to Joseph Chalom, Ethereum’s macro positives are at their best moment in its decade and a half history, with stablecoin growth and RWAs as core drivers. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has noted that $14 trillion in assets will be tokenized, while 65% of tokenization activity currently occurs on Ethereum. SharpLink, as a crypto treasury company, holds billions of dollars worth of Ethereum and is almost 100% staked. Currently, the company is cooperating with EigenLayer, ether.fi, etc. to launch liquid staking tokens.
Joseph Lubin said that Ethereum is a productive asset that offers a “risk-free interest rate” of about 3%. Consensys is integrating treasury management, liquidity management, and transaction orchestration capabilities into a specific version of MetaMask, making it a user-controlled new bank.
