The latest purchase comes after the company’s Treasury planner Joseph Lubin stated that they wish to become the fastest ETH buyers in the market. Amid broader crypto market volatility, ETH price has been under selling pressure, dropping 12.5% following a rejection at $4,000 earlier this week.

Sharplink Gaming Adds $96M in Ethereum

Nasdaq-listed SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) has been on an Ethereum buying spree, making its second big purchase this week. As per on-chain data, the firm has significantly increased its Ethereum holdings, adding 26,192 ETH worth approximately $96 million to its strategic reserve over the past two days.

This latest accumulation brings SharpLink’s total ETH holdings to 464,382 ETH, valued at around $1.63 billion at current market prices. The company has already showed intentions to continue expanding its ETH treasury.

In the latest Bloomberg interview, Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, who’s also leading the ETH treasury strategy for SharpLink, shared his plans to be the fastest ETH buyer. Lubin said :

“We believe that we’ll be able to accumulate more Ether, per fully diluted share, much faster than any other Ethereum-based project, or certainly faster than the Bitcoin-based projects.”

As part of its acquisition strategy, Sharplink has already transferred $55 million in USDC to various centralized exchanges (CEXs) via Galaxy Digital. In its message on the X platform, SharpLink noted :

“Ethereum is becoming the base layer for a trillion-dollar digital economy.It replaces institutional trust with open, verifiable code. We are still early”.

As of now, SharpLink Gaming ranks second after Bitmine Technologies, as an ETH Treasury firm. As per the recent data from Standard Chartered, the ETH treasury firms have a massive $10 billion in assets under management. Most of the purchases have happened over the last two months.

ETH Price In Selling Pressure

Following the rejection at $4,000 earlier this week, ETH has come under selling pressure, falling all the way to $3,500 levels. Furthermore, on Friday, spot Ethereum ETFs saw the first outflows, reflecting a change in sentiment, after 20 consecutive days of inflows.

Market analysts call this ETH price correction healthy, after a strong 60% upside in July. Popular analyst Ted Pillows stated: “Nothing goes up in a straight line. ETH pumped 60% in a month, and now a correction is happening. I think some consolidation could happen before $ETH teleports to a new ATH”.

Bernstein believes that the co-packaged optics (CPO) and fiber demand driven by Nvidia's Rubin Ultra architecture will surge significantly, with the optical content per Pod rising from $1 million to $5.4 million. This will propel the size of Nvidia's optical ecosystem market to $46.8 billion by 2028 (a 91% annual increase). Although the industry faces supply bottlenecks with InP substrates, the outlook remains positive. The institution reiterates its “outperform” rating for Lumentum, Coherent, and Ciena.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
