Tom Lee, founder of Fundstrat and Bitmine, predicts that Ethereum (ETH) will become the cornerstone of the next global financial system. He argues that the future growth of digital assets will be driven by tokenization rather than Bitcoin's traditional four-year cycles. Lee highlights Ethereum's reliability, finality, and its decade-long track record as key factors making it the institutional choice for tokenizing assets such as equities, bonds, and real estate. Lee also suggests that Ethereum's current market price is merely a starting point, with long-term projections indicating a significantly higher valuation. Bitmine, which holds nearly 4% of all Ethereum, continues to increase its holdings, particularly during market downturns, underscoring its confidence in Ethereum's future potential.
