SharpLink Deploys $170 Million in ETH to Linea to Earn On-Chain Yields

The move pursues stacked staking incentives through institutional custody on an Ethereum Layer-2.

Overview

  • The transaction fulfills most of SharpLink’s previously announced plan to allocate up to $200 million of ETH to Linea.
  • Assets remain under qualified custody with Anchorage Digital, with EtherFi and EigenCloud providing staking and re-staking infrastructure.
  • Expected returns include native ETH staking plus re-staking rewards via EigenCloud and incentives from EtherFi and Linea.
  • Shares of SBET rose about 1.4% on Thursday but are down roughly 37% over the past six months.
  • Linea’s total value locked has fallen about 89% from a $1.64 billion peak since its token launch in September, providing context for network incentives.
