2 Cryptocurrencies Tom Lee Expects to Deliver Massive Gains
Yahoo Finance ·
One Wall Street voice is telling Bitcoin ( BTC +3.65% ) holders that its price will end the year near $250,000, and Ethereum ( ETH +4.38% ) holders that its price will be in the ballpark of $12,000. From today's prices for these assets, near $63,000 and $1,800 respectively, that's a bit hard to believe. That voice is Tom Lee, Fundstrat co-founder, former J.P. Morgan chief equity strategist, and, since June 2025, chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies , the owner of the largest corporate Ethereum treasury. Let's dig into his predictions about these two coins and assess whether they're likely to come true. Lee last reiterated his 2026 price target of $200,000 to $250,000 per Bitcoin on CNBC in January. He argued that the four-year halving cycle that governs the coin's price is breaking down, and that spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) demand is now the dominant determinant of its price. His rationale is that October 2025's flash crash, which coincided with Bitcoin's most recent all-time high of around $126,000, reset the market's positioning, and also that a bull run for gold (like what's happened over the last couple of years) has historically been a phenomenon that preceded big Bitcoin growth. Lee's position in August 2025 was for Bitcoin to be above $200,000 by the end of the year, but that didn't happen.
AI 시장 분석
Tom Lee of Fundstrat projects Bitcoin will reach $250,000 and Ethereum $12,000 by year-end. He attributes price momentum primarily to spot ETF demand rather than historical halving cycles. Investors should closely monitor whether this optimistic outlook aligns with actual market liquidity flows.
상승 영향
- Bitcoin — Institutional capital inflows via spot ETFs are intensifying supply shortages, driving prices upward. The $250,000 target reflects an aggressive outlook based on expanding market liquidity.
- Ethereum — Coupling with Bitcoin and ecosystem expansion suggest a potential rise to $12,000. Large-scale corporate holding strategies are expected to provide a floor for prices.
