The deal was completed just before ETH surpassed $3,000 last week, meaning SharpLink acquired the ETH at a notable discount to the prevailing market price

Onchain data shows that SharpLink acquired another $48.5 million worth of ETH on Sunday, bringing the firm’s total holdings to 270,000 ETH, with an unrealised profit of $81.8 million.
