Ethereum's TVL To Surge '10X' In 2026: Sharplink CEO

Joseph Chalom, co-CEO of Sharplink Gaming, forecasts that Ethereum's Total Value Locked (TVL) could surge tenfold by 2026, fueled by expanding adoption across various use cases and increased institutional investment. Chalom expects the stablecoin market to reach $500 billion by the end of next year, which, given that over half of stablecoin activity occurs on Ethereum, should boost TVL. Furthermore, he anticipates the tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) market to hit $300 billion in 2026, with tokenized assets seeing a 10x increase in Assets Under Management (AUM). Catalysts for this growth include rising interest from major financial firms like JPMorgan and BlackRock, as well as anticipated growth in Ethereum holdings by sovereign wealth funds. Chalom also believes onchain AI agents and prediction markets will become mainstream, driving further ecosystem value, despite current market headwinds for Ether.
