Binance fam, hold onto your ETH – a massive bull case just dropped! 💥 On December 26, 2025, Joseph Chalom, co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming (the second-largest public ETH treasury holder with ~798K ETH worth $2.3B+), boldly predicted that Ethereum's Total Value Locked (TVL) will surge TENFOLD in 2026!
Current TVL sits at around $68 billion (per DeFiLlama) – a 10X jump means $680 billion+ locked on Ethereum by year's end. This would cement ETH as the undisputed king of DeFi and institutional on-chain finance.
Why the mega-growth? Chalom breaks it down:
- Stablecoins to $500B market cap (from ~$308B now) – with Ethereum hosting over 54% of activity, big players like JPM, PayPal, Japan/South Korea, and EU banks issuing their own.
- Tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs) hitting $300B – 10X AUM growth from individual assets to full fund complexes (shoutout BlackRock & co.).
- Sovereign wealth funds ramping ETH holdings 5-10X as competitive FOMO kicks in.
- On-chain AI agents + prediction markets going mainstream – driving explosive activity and value accrual.
This isn't hype – it's structural: Ethereum's 100% uptime, massive validator network, and role as the "trustware" settlement layer make it the go-to for institutions bridging TradFi and crypto.
With ETH consolidating around $2,900-$3,000, this forecast could ignite the next leg up. More TVL = more fees, burns, and demand for ETH as the ultimate utility asset.
