According to on-chain information from Arkham, it appears that a significant portion of SharpLink Gaming’s Ethereum holdings are being staked through Figment, a company offering liquid staking services, earning a yield of approximately 3.03% per year in SRR (Stable Reward Rate).
On June 13th, the prominent gaming company disclosed its acquisition of 176,271 ETH at a cost of $463 million. It then added an additional 12,207 ETH on June 24th. This latest purchase further expands its already substantial Ethereum holdings which are nearing half a billion dollars in value.
