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.

"You always have to remember the linkage between artificial intelligence and crypto, the linkage between crypto and code – all of these go together," he said.Following Bitcoin's move from $60,000 to $80,000, Visser noted that shares outstanding in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) have reached an all-time high, surpassing levels seen when BTC traded at $126,000, indicating that wealth managers are accumulating on weakness. Investors themselves were also unyielding, Visser believes, with Morgan Stanley buying around $200 million over two weeks alone."The boomers are buying it, they're adding it to asset allocation," Visser said. "If they're buying during a down move, when this [goes] higher, they will be buying in an up move.”<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at $80,934, flat in the last 24 hours.

The IGV software index includes miners, but they perform very differently, he added.&nbsp;"If you take out the Bitcoin miners, the software names as an index are still sitting near the lows while the Bitcoin portion is going higher," he said, citing BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's recent&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAGIZ4MLzBE">comments</a> on computing becoming a new asset class.Visser argued that tokenization’s boom is a structural, not a narrative trade. With tons of capital trapped in illiquid private vehicles and forward-looking valuations busted, on-chain markets are forming as the only true price-discovery mechanism. “The growth asset bucket has died. Private credit is not coming back, private equity is not coming back. VC, not coming back. SaaS not coming back," he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Tokenization Boom</h2>He added that stablecoins and tokenization are the rails for AI agents to run on crypto speed infrastructure. “AI agents are with us. They need food, and that food is not physical food; it is tokens,” he said.Visser said he is investing heavily in hard assets and crypto, including silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, as tokenization and an artificial intelligence-driven appetite for digital assets are expected to ramp up later this year.&nbsp;Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/veteran-trader-peter-brandt-flags-major-bottom-on-sui-token-surges/cZX9zUAReWq">Veteran Trader Peter Brandt Flags 'Major Bottom' On SUI — Token Surges As Volume Tops $3B</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com

On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment around ETH moved to ‘neutral’ from ‘bullish’ while chatter around it remained at 'high’ levels over the past day.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Quantum Resistance Emerges As Long-Term Priority</h2>Beyond near-term upgrades, Buterin emphasized the importance of preparing Ethereum for future risks tied to advances in quantum computing. While current quantum systems are not yet capable of breaking widely used cryptographic standards, Buterin warned that the timeline for such developments could be within the next decade.“We need to be ready well before that happens,” he said, referring to efforts to implement quantum-resistant cryptography across the network.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Institutional Demand Builds Around Ethereum</h2>The roadmap comes as institutional interest in Ethereum continues to build. Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) surged toward a $13 billion valuation on Monday, following one of the largest Ethereum&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/tom-lee-bmnr-nears-13-b-after-largest-ethereum-buy/cZBdayzRIzc">purchases</a> by the company. Bitmine purchased 101,627 ETH over the past week, marking the company’s largest weekly acquisition this year.Analysts also noted the broader significance of the roadmap. Milk Road, a crypto newsletter and media company, commented on Vitalik’s roadmap, saying that “Early plans/solutions for quantum are exactly what we want to see.”Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-etfs-enter-big-boy-billion-inflows/cZBd0iARIzW">Bitcoin ETFs Enter ‘Big Boy’ Category While $1 Billion Inflows Push Toward Record Highs</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment around ETH remained in the ‘bullish’ zone, while chatter around it stayed in the ‘high’ levels over the past day.Instead, interfaces are projected to become more advanced, making it easier for users to interact with crypto. This will let people utilize systems by giving them orders based on their intentions instead of having to do things by hand. This concept has AI as a middle layer between consumers and blockchain protocols.But he warned that the burgeoning power of AI also comes with pitfalls. If only a few big tech companies dominated AI infrastructure, it might cause problems for the whole system. Lubin stressed that decentralized systems and cryptographic tools will be crucial for holding people accountable and enabling AI agents to check one another in open, trustless settings.As part of this change,&nbsp;crypto wallets like MetaMask are being redesigned. Lubin said the wallet has become "a new kind of neobank” that one owns and controls, which means it works like a personal financial operating system. AI-powered bots may handle assets, make transactions, and move among decentralized ecosystems for users, making personal finance even more automated.Lubin discussed changes to the structure of the Ethereum ecosystem, in addition to user interfaces. He thinks that "corporate chains" will become more common. These are businesses that use their own blockchain networks for scalability and management, but still use Ethereum's basic layer to issue assets. “The best way to ensure that an asset is durable… is to mint it on Ethereum layer one,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">AI Agents Move From Theory To On-Chain Activity</h2>Recent&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://a16zcrypto.substack.com/p/agents-are-starting-to-operate-real">research</a> from a16z Crypto has also pointed to early signs of autonomous AI agents operating in live environments, with some already managing wallets, executing trades, and interacting with on-chain protocols without direct human input.The report noted that these agents"have moved quickly from copilots to economic actors faster than the infrastructure around them,” signaling a shift toward machine-driven activity on decentralized networks.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/iran-reviews-us-proposals-delivered-pakistan-mediation/cZJ66FmRIUD">Iran Reviews New US Proposals Delivered Via Pakistan Mediation: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
