#ETHBreaks3k 💢At the beginning of its history, Ethereum was seen as the younger brother of Bitcoin. While one consolidated as "digital gold," scarce and resistant to inflation, the other advanced with a more ambitious proposal. Ethereum sought not just to store value but to create a new financial language, an open infrastructure on which anyone could build. In the early years, the project faced challenges; Bitcoin captured the attention of the media, investors, and regulators. Ethereum was a young, experimental network, often misunderstood. However, little by little, it has found its place. It hasn't happened overnight, but over time, each decentralized application, each smart contract, and each new functionality added reinforced its role in the digital ecosystem. One of the elements that has most contributed to this leap is staking (earning yields in exchange for participating in the validation and security of a blockchain network). Since the network migrated to the Proof of Stake consensus system, it is possible to earn yields by participating in its security.

Companies like SharpLink have strongly bet on this function. This firm, initially dedicated to the betting sector, has completely changed its course. Today it holds more than 198,000 ethers in its treasury and has earned over 200 additional ethers just from staking rewards.
