Joseph Chalom, co-CEO of Sharplink and former head of digital assets at BlackRock, believes Ethereum will power the foundation of digital finance on Wall Street. He highlights that Ethereum stands out due to its ability to provide trust, security, and liquidity – key factors prioritized by financial institutions. This conviction led him to dedicate his post-BlackRock career to Ethereum development. Chalom describes Ethereum as a versatile platform enabling transactions, lending, trading, NFT creation, and advanced applications, contrasting it with Bitcoin, which he sees primarily as a store of value. He believes Sharplink bridges traditional finance (TradFi) with the crypto ecosystem, aiming to optimize this infrastructure by eliminating intermediaries and achieving faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions. Chalom views Ethereum not as speculative technology but rather as a cornerstone for a new era in digital finance, paving the way for the future where DeFi and TradFi merge seamlessly into one. He anticipates that Ethereum will ultimately become the core foundation of all financial activities, creating a unified landscape.
