Odaily Planet Daily reports that Sharplink Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom stated during a panel discussion at the Hong Kong Consensus 2026 that digital asset treasuries (DATs) are evolving into a unique institutional strategy. Lubin pointed out that ETH is a productive asset that can generate approximately 3% yield through staking. Sharplink has staked nearly all of its holdings and plans to continue purchasing and staking ETH. Chalom said that Sharplink’s strategy is to deploy permanent capital and seek risk-adjusted returns for investors through “good institutional DeFi,” rather than pursuing venture-style returns. He mentioned that BlackRock plans to tokenize its $14 trillion assets, with over 65% of that happening on Ethereum.
Lubin predicts that in the future, every company will become a blockchain company and hold tokens on their balance sheets.

Currently, privacy technologies cover on-chain privacy solutions and off-chain zero-knowledge applications, but there is still a significant gap in network layer anonymity capabilities. Additionally, in some application scenarios, bandwidth requirements are low but latency is extremely sensitive, so achieving a balance between low latency and high anonymity will be of great importance for the development of related technologies.
