Tom Lee Revives Bullish Call For 2026"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>Tom Lee has reiterated one of the most aggressive Ethereum targets in the market, telling attendees at Binance Blockchain Week on 4 December that ETH could eventually trade at $62,000 as it becomes the core infrastructure for tokenized finance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, so let me explain to you why Ethereum, now that we\u2019ve talked about crypto, [\u2026] is the future of finance,\u201d Lee said on stage. He framed 2025 as Ethereum\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/50-years-later-why-bitcoin-is-the-new-gold-standard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">1971 moment<\/a>,\u201d drawing a direct analogy to when the US dollar left the gold standard and triggered a wave of financial innovation.<\/p>\n<h2>Lee\u2019s Thesis For Ethereum<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIn 1971, the dollar went off the gold standard. And in 1971, it galvanized Wall Street to create financial products to make sure the dollar would be the reserve currency,\u201d Lee argued. \u201cWell, in 2025, we\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-a-16-trillion-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">tokenizing everything<\/a>. So it\u2019s not just the dollar that\u2019s getting tokenized, but it\u2019s stocks, bonds, real estate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his view, this shift positions ETH as the primary settlement and execution layer for tokenized assets. \u201cWall Street is, again, going to take advantage of that and create products onto a smart contract platform. And where they\u2019re building this is on Ethereum,\u201d he said. Lee pointed to current real-world asset experiments as early evidence, noting that \u201cthe majority of this, the vast majority, is being built on Ethereum,\u201d and adding that \u201cEthereum has won the smart contract war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee also stressed that ETH\u2019s market behavior has not yet reflected that structural role. \u201cAs you know, ETH has been range bound for five years, as I\u2019ve shaded here. But it\u2019s begun to break out,\u201d he told the audience, explaining why he \u201cgot very involved with Ethereum by turning <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/tom-lees-1-3b-ethereum-bet-under-pressure-as-eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitmine into an ETH treasury company<\/a>, because we saw this breakout coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The core of his valuation case is expressed through the ETH\/BTC ratio. Lee expects Bitcoin to move sharply higher in the near term: \u201cI think Bitcoin is going to get to $250,000 within a few months.\u201d From there, he derives two key ETH scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>First, if the ETH\/BTC price relationship simply reverts to its historical mean, he sees substantial upside. \u201cIf ETH price ratio to Bitcoin gets back to its eight year average, that\u2019s $12,000 for Ethereum,\u201d he said. Second, in a more aggressive case where ETH appreciates to a quarter of Bitcoin\u2019s price, his long-standing $62,000 target emerges: \u201cIf it gets to 0.25 relative to Bitcoin, that\u2019s $62,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f525.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd25\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> TOM LEE CALLS FOR $62,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$ETH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Ethereum\u2019s going to become the future of finance, the payment rails of the future and if it gets to .25 relative to Bitcoin that\u2019s $62,000.
