Why Sharplink’s plan to put Ethereum on Linea received a Gedempte Response from Investors

Ethereum Treasury Company Sharplink received a Gedempte Response from Investors when it was told Decrypt Last week it will set up part of the $ 3.6 billion in ETH in his treasury on Linea as soon as Mancinet goes live.

The shares of the company, which trade on the Nasdaq under the SBET Ticker, are currently being traded for $ 15.73 or 11% less compared to five trade days ago.

And now it has been the case for a week that users on Myriad, a forecast market that is owned Decrypt parent company Dastan, doubt that Sharplink will brag enough Ethereum To keep 1 million ETH before 16 September. The company currently has 837,230 ETH in its treasury, worth around $ 3.62 billion at current prices.

At the beginning of the month, the chance of 70% of users said that Sharplink, who acts as SBET, will not reach 1 million ETH before September 16. And now pessimism is growing, with 82.5% of users who doubt the company will touch that milestone soon.

The sagging share price and the growing doubts about the pace of his ETH acquisition is probably due to Sharplink who spends shares aggressively and diluted existing investors, told Samantha Bohbot, chief growth employee at Rockawayx, told Decrypt.

Sharplink has raised money to buy ETH through share financing, for which the new SBET shares must spend. But every new issue dilutes the value of the shares held by existing shareholders. The prospect that Sharplink will do that again in a way that diluted the value could make his shares unattractive for investors, Bohbot explained.

She added that Digital Asset Treasury, or that, investors do not seem to be interested in the prospect that Holdings is used to generate proceeds.

“Currently, most of the ‘investors’ have to be considered more as technical traders than business matters in the long term,” said Bohbot. “They act on the premiums of noted that shares versus their underlying crypto companies, or speculate that stock prices spend along broader crypto rallies. Few still seem to be aimed at whether the premium valuation of one that is justified to generate efficiency to maintain the power above.”

That does not mean that she thinks Sharplink’s plans are a bad idea. But they are a long -term game on which most investors do not attach high value at the moment.

“We expect this to change; over time, the market will probably distinguish dat who successfully yield an attractive, sustainable yield on their crypto -scale box,” said Bohbot, “while those who do not generate returns will probably act with a discount on assets, as is often overwhelmed by public holding.”

It is also worth noting that Sharplink is already set up a percentage of his ETH interests on the Ethereum minnet, so far worth 2,318 ETH (or $ 10 million at today’s prices) in rewards since June. So moving ETH to Consensys’ Ethereum Layer-2 Network Linea is probably a larger deal for linea interested parties than for STET investors.

There are also other factors to consider, said James Harris, CEO of Institutional Digital Active company Tesseract.

“Linea is still new and not tested for scale, so investors can be wary of a smart contract or operational risks that do not exist with more established custodial deployment providers, although Consensys’ involvement should reduce this care Decrypt. (Disclosure: Consensys is one of the 22 investors in an editorial independent Decrypt.)

Leading Ethereum Development Company Consensys is central to Sharplink’s Eth Treasury since it was first announced in May. The company led a private investment of $ 425 million in public shares or pipe in May. As part of the deal, Creensys CEO and co-founder of Ethereum Joseph Lubin became chairman of the board of Sbet and Sharplink joined the Linea Consortium.

It is therefore likely that Ethereum investors have been expecting Sharplink for months, but as Harris has indicated: “Money conditions and liquidity mechanics have not yet been fully announced, making it more difficult for institutions to assess a risk agreement.”
