Recently, the big news in the crypto circle cannot avoid ETH's 'number one hype man' Tom Lee—he just threw out a whole set of bullish theories, directly ramping up the discussion around ETH! After digging into his core viewpoints, each one is explosive.
First, let's look at the policy wind: The SEC and the White House's new Project Crypto clearly aims to 'move' the U.S. financial market onto the blockchain. And with Ethereum being the largest smart contract public chain currently, it has essentially taken an advantageous position in this race—just like a milk tea shop opening at a subway entrance; this wave of policy benefits will likely be captured by it first.
Now let's talk about why Wall Street is so fond of ETH? Tom Lee pointed out two key factors: it's never gone down, and its stability is unquestionable; plus, financial giants like JPMorgan and Robinhood have been quietly using it for a long time. Institutions choose tools like we choose lipsticks, they definitely prioritize 'no risks, endorsed by influencers', and this wave of trust in ETH is off the charts!
The most explosive part is the price prediction: his team estimates that the fair value of ETH could reach $10,000 to $20,000 in the next 12 months! This is not even the endpoint—this current wave of stablecoin frenzy is like ChatGPT for AI, pushing Wall Street toward ETH (subtly comparing ETH to NVIDIA in the crypto circle, this positioning is quite bold).
Long-term, it's even more daring to think: once Wall Street puts stocks and bonds, these 'real assets', on the chain, institutional funds will flock to stake ETH. By then, financial assets will all operate on the chain, and if ETH becomes the underlying protocol, Tom Lee said '60,000 dollars might not even be the peak.'
Interestingly, Wood Sister has already believed in this logic early on, while many Wall Street institutions have quietly increased their positions during the recent pullback. Now everyone in the circle is joking that Tom Lee's 'talk' has been too successful, and no one is paying attention to small V's analysis; everyone is following his viewpoint.
Of course, the crypto market is highly volatile, predictions are predictions, and one must weigh the risks when actually taking action. But it must be said that ETH has caught the attention of institutions, and the subsequent developments are worth keeping an eye on. Do you think Tom Lee's prediction is reliable?
