"The banks, who are the most powerful movers of money in the world, realize they can make a lot of money moving things on blockchains,” said Lee.While he acknowledged that the cryptocurrency market has “underperformed” in this current cycle, the industry’s underlying logic for structural development has never been more solid.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Case Against A 'Too-Big-to-Fail' Blockchain</h2>Lee has sorted out two core use cases that drive financial institutions to implement blockchain.

Tom Lee Calls The End Of Crypto Winter Once Again, BitMine Chair Says Ethereum Performing As 'Wartime' Store Of Value

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>BitMine's Tom Lee said Ethereum is exiting a five-year consolidation, with three price targets: $12,000, $22,000, and $62,000 if it becomes the world's primary payment rail and BTC reaches $250,000.</li><li>Lee predicted $40 billion in net income for Jane Street, with 3,000 employees, and $15 billion for Tether, with 300 employees.</li><li>He forecast that half of the world's largest banks will be native digital asset companies in 10 years.</li></ul>Tom Lee of BitMine Immersion (BMNR) argued on Monday that Ethereum is emerging from a five-year consolidation that may be comparable to the massive 227 times and 54 times the move that followed its 2016 and 2020 ranges.Ethereum is the best-performing asset since the Iran War began, Lee said in a chairman’s&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/BB_mGRr5bBQ?si=L_yBQNEib8hSdJGo">message</a>, who called it a "wartime store of value." He pointed out that a $100,000 portfolio would have grown to $1.7 million with a 5% allocation to ETH since December 2016, compared with just $130,000 with no exposure.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Tom Lee Sets New Price Targets For Ethereum</h2>To ensure Bitcoin (BTC) reaches its $250,000 fair value, Lee set three price targets for Ethereum. One, $12,000 at the 8-year average ETH/BTC ratio, $22,000 at the 2021 high ETH/BTC ratio, and $62,000 if ETH becomes the world's primary financial tool. According to Grayscale data, as real estate, fixed income, stocks, and commercial real estate move on-chain, the tokenized market could reach $300 trillion.Lee noted that Tether will make about $15 billion this year with just 300 employees, outpacing Bank of America (BOFA), Wells Fargo (WFC), Citigroup (C), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Goldman Sachs (GS), while Jane Street is expected to make $40 billion with just 3,000 employees. "Jane Street makes more money than Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs on much smaller headcounts," said Lee.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum’s price</a> was trading at $2,328, down 1% in the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around ETH dropped to ‘neutral’ from the ‘bearish’ zone, while chatter stayed at ‘normal’ levels over the past day.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Half Of&nbsp;The&nbsp;World's Top Banks Will Go Crypto-Native In 10 Years</h2>He predicted that within ten years, half of the world's largest financial institutions will be native digital asset companies, drawing comparisons to Tesla (TSLA) replacing traditional automakers and Amazon (AMZN)&nbsp; replacing IBM. "I believe in the next 10 years, half of the largest financial institutions in the world are going to be native digital companies, native digital asset companies, many of them in crypto," said Lee.BMNR, which currently controls 4% of the world's Ethereum supply and operates the biggest single staking operator. If ETH hits $250,000, BMNR shares could hit $5,000 at Lee's price targets.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BMNR">BMNR’s stock</a> was up over 3% in midday trade.

The slowing pace aligns with Lee’s comments that BitMine would like to slow its accumulation, though the company still plans to reach 5% of the total ETH supply sometime in 2026.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bernie-moreno-coinbase-slam-banks-clarity-act/cZXaOxmRehn">‘The Banking Cartel Is In Full Panic Mode' — Senator Bernie Moreno, Coinbase Slam Banks' Eleventh-Hour’ Change To CLARITY Act</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com
