Tom Lee's Case for $22,000 Ethereum

Fundstrat's Tom Lee took the Consensus mainstage in Miami to make a bold call: crypto winter is over and the bull market is just getting started. Lee laid out his case for why agentic AI and tokenization will make crypto-native companies more profitable than traditional banks, argued Ethereum is deeply undervalued at current prices, and explained why BitMine, which now holds over 4% of all Ethereum supply and generates over $1 million a day in cash flow, is positioned to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the next cycle. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Tom Lee at Consensus Miami 2026 00:37 - Crypto Winter Is Over and the Bull Market Is Starting 02:56 - Ethereum as a Portfolio Diversifier and Long-Term Hedge 06:14 - Tokenization and Agentic AI as Drivers of the Next Bull Market 10:17 - How Crypto-Native Companies Will Replace Traditional Banks 11:28 - BitMine's Strategic Positioning and Investment in Eightco and MrBeast 16:55 - BitMine's Digital Asset Treasury Strategy - #cryptocurrency #digitalfinance #finance #bitcoin #crypto Subscribe to CoinDesk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CoinDesk?sub_confirmation=1 CoinDesk is the leading digital media, events and information services company for the crypto asset and blockchain technology community.
