Executive Leadership Appointments

Matthew Sheffield, Chief Investment Officer

Sheffield brings extensive institutional trading and digital asset investment experience to SharpLink. Most recently, he served as Head of U.S. Spot Trading at FalconX, a leading institutional digital asset prime brokerage and trading firm. In that capacity, he led a team of traders running one of the largest OTC desks in the industry, played a key role deploying the firm into digital asset treasury investments and started their digital asset treasury strategic advisory initiative.

Earlier in his career, Sheffield worked at Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s largest and most respected institutional asset managers, where he contributed to the development, improvement and implementation of systematic trading strategies across global rates and credit markets.

At SharpLink, Sheffield will help lead the firm’s capital markets strategy, capital deployment, yield optimization and strategic investment initiative aimed at enhancing ETH Concentration and maximizing ETH’s treasury performance.

Mandy Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer

Campbell joins SharpLink from Bain Capital Crypto, where she led marketing for their dedicated digital asset and early-stage crypto venture funds, and collaborated with portfolio teams. Prior to Bain Capital, Campbell led content and brand operations for OKX, where she drove growth of the global crypto exchange during a period of accelerated expansion. Earlier roles include strategic positions at GitHub, Lyft and Facebook, where she scaled creative and content functions, and helped forge brand identity in competitive markets.

At SharpLink, Campbell will lead the Company’s global brand strategy, marketing and communications efforts across institutional, retail, and crypto-native audiences.

Michael Camarda, Chief Development Officer

Camarda previously joined SharpLink from Consensys, one of the world’s leading Ethereum software companies and SharpLink’s valued strategic partner, where he led corporate development initiatives across capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and venture capital investments. Earlier in his career, Camarda worked at J.P. Morgan, where he held positions in both the Investment Banking Division and the firm’s principal investments group. There, he advised clients on capital raises and M&A transactions and executed venture capital and growth equity investments on behalf of the bank. This blend of institutional finance and onchain expertise uniquely positions Camarda to help bridge the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance.

At SharpLink, Camarda is responsible for building and scaling SharpLink’s capital markets and corporate development strategy, including the design and execution of innovative financing structures, tokenization initiatives, and institutional partnerships.

SharpLink’s strategy centers on accretive ETH acquisition and active treasury management designed to outperform passive ETH exposure vehicles. Through staking, restaking and innovative DeFi engagement – and by leveraging the deep expertise of our strategic partner Consensys – the Company aims to deliver superior ETH-denominated returns, enhanced capital efficiency and robust risk-adjusted performance.

First Public Company to Natively Issue Equity on the Ethereum Blockchain; Collaboration to Explore Regulated Trading of Tokenized Shares on Automated Market Makers

Minneapolis, MN, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) (“SharpLink” or the “Company”), one of the world’s largest corporate holders of Ether (“ETH”) and prominent industry advocate of Ethereum adoption, today announced its intention to tokenize its SEC-registered common stock directly on the Ethereum blockchain, appointing financial technology firm Superstate as its Digital Transfer Agent.

By enabling its equity to be tokenized natively onchain, SharpLink aims to demonstrate how public companies can use blockchain infrastructure to create shareholder value, improve market efficiency and drive forward the next generation of capital markets. SharpLink intends to partner with Superstate to tokenize its equity on Ethereum through its Opening Bell platform, expanding Superstate’s multichain capital markets infrastructure.

SharpLink and Superstate also intend to closely collaborate on advancing how tokenized public equities can ultimately trade on Automated Market Makers (“AMMs”) and other decentralized finance (“DeFi”) protocols in a fully compliant manner. This initiative aligns with the SEC’s broader Project Crypto innovation agenda aimed at modernizing U.S. securities regulation to better enable digital assets, blockchain and onchain markets.

This work has the potential to position SharpLink’s tokenized equity, along with future Opening Bell tokenizations, for secondary market trading on AMMs. Doing so would demonstrate how compliant tokenized securities can deliver broader utility, enhance liquidity and modernize capital flows for a new era of investor and issuer engagement.

Commenting on the new partnership with Superstate, SharpLink Co-CEO Joseph Chalom, stated, “Tokenizing SharpLink’s equity directly on Ethereum is far more than a technological achievement – it is a statement about where we believe the future of the global capital markets is headed. At SharpLink, our core mission is two-fold: to build the world’s most trusted digital asset treasury and to pursue initiatives that accelerate the global adoption of the Ethereum network. By working with Superstate, not only are we enabling our shareholders to hold SBET shares natively on Ethereum, but we are also embarking on entirely new frontiers for how compliant, tokenized public equities could one day trade seamlessly through AMMs – an evolution we believe could redefine market structure itself.”

Joseph Lubin, SharpLink’s Chairman of the Board, Founder and CEO of Consensys and Co-Founder of Ethereum, added, “We’re proud to have been the first public company to become a Digital Asset Treasury company on Ethereum, onboarding traditional finance to Ethereum. And now we are excited to raise the floodgates further by onboarding TradFi to composable DeFi on Ethereum. As one of the largest corporate holders of ETH, this major step forward reinforces SharpLink’s conviction that Ethereum is the foundation upon which the next generation of financial infrastructure will be built.”

Launched in 2025, Opening Bell is a regulated onchain issuance and tokenization platform that allows companies to tokenize SEC-registered equity via blockchain infrastructure. Shares tokenized with Opening Bell remain fully compliant and legally equivalent to traditional book-entry equity, but can also be held in self-custodied wallets, integrated with digital financial products and made available to global investor segments.

“SharpLink will be the first public company to tokenize their shares on Ethereum using Superstate’s Opening Bell, a milestone worthy of such an important Ethereum-aligned company,” said Superstate CEO Robert Leshner. “We’re very pleased to be partnering with SharpLink as they build the ecosystem for tokenized equity on Ethereum and beyond.”

Following the appointment of Lubin as Chairman and the forging of its strategic partnership with Consensys, one of the most important companies in the Ethereum ecosystem, SharpLink launched its ETH treasury strategy in early June 2025. Since that time, the Company has accumulated more than 838,000 ETH and generated 3,815 ETH in native and liquid staking rewards as of late September, establishing itself as one of the largest corporate holders of Ethereum in the world.
