Tom Lee: There is a 50% chance Ethereum's network value will surpass Bitcoin.
Wall Street's renowned strategist and current chairman of BitMine, Tom Lee, recently accepted an interview with (The Compound), predicting that Ethereum's network value has a 50% chance of surpassing Bitcoin in the coming years, showcasing a flipping phenomenon in the cryptocurrency world.
Tom Lee previously stated in an interview that Ethereum is becoming Wall Street's preferred choice for handling tokenized assets, likely to become the blockchain pillar of the new generation of finance.
BitMine has transformed from a miner to an Ethereum reserve strategy company.
Currently led by Tom Lee, BitMine has undergone a stunning transformation from a traditional Bitcoin miner to a company focusing on Ethereum reserve strategies.
Tom Lee stated that mining is a capital-intensive industry with high capital expenditure, and BitMine has transformed into a lightweight asset company primarily holding Ethereum ($ETH), a strategy that attracted a $250 million initial investment.
BitMine is pushing a 5% alchemy strategy, aiming to acquire 5% of the circulating supply of Ethereum.
Data from strategicethreserve.xyz shows that as of August 26, the company holds 1.7 million Ethereum, making it the world's largest publicly held Ethereum company.
By holding staked Ethereum, BitMine can generate over 3% in native income annually, providing stable cash flow for the company.

The U.S. manufacturing sector is cautious, with the market estimating two interest rate cuts this year.
Tom Lee also mentioned in the interview the changes in macroeconomics and monetary policy. The ISM Manufacturing Index (PMI) has been below 50 for over 28 consecutive months, marking the longest stretch since 1950.
He believes this reflects a widespread extreme caution among businesses, like a 'coiled spring'; once market confidence is restored, after the ISM index turns positive, it may continue to expand for years.
Regarding the Federal Reserve policies closely watched by the market, Tom Lee stated that the market generally expects the Fed to cut interest rates twice before the end of the year.
When the Federal Reserve enters a loosening cycle, it not only benefits the labor market but could also trigger the largest mortgage refinancing boom in history due to declining mortgage spreads, injecting strong liquidity into the real estate market and the overall economy.

Tom Lee points out investment decision blind spots: Don't act based on emotions and biases.
In analyzing market dynamics, Tom Lee pointed out that investment decisions are often influenced by emotions and biases. He observed that many investors sell off due to distrust in market rebounds or fear of economic recession, ultimately missing good opportunities. This phenomenon stems from investors' tendency to act on feelings rather than studying historical data.
Although the current market is full of challenges, Tom Lee emphasized that artificial intelligence (AI) is the fundamental factor driving the bull market; AI is restructuring the U.S. financial system and merging with blockchain technology to create a new cryptocurrency economy.
He believes that the current wave of AI-driven profit growth is systemic, similar to the Industrial Revolution, rather than a mere bubble; it is reshaping the winners and losers of the industry and injecting substantial growth momentum into the economy.
