Ethereum TVL Could Explode 10x in 2026, Says Sharplink Co-CEO

Ethereum’s total value locked (TVL) could increase by as much as ten times in 2026 as adoption accelerates across stablecoins, tokenization, and institutional use cases, according to Sharplink Gaming co-CEO Joseph Chalom.

Sharplink is currently the second-largest public Ethereum treasury company, holding nearly 798,000 ETH worth about $2.33 billion. Chalom believes expanding onchain activity, particularly from institutional players, could dramatically boost Ethereum’s locked capital.

Ethereum’s TVL currently sits near $68 billion, but rising demand for blockchain-based financial infrastructure could push that figure significantly higher. While ETH’s price has struggled over the past year, growing network usage may reshape long-term sentiment.
