Forecast Trend Report by Period
Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, an Ethereum treasury company listed under the ticker BMNR, and co-founder of Fundstrat, put Ethereum's long-term price target at $250,000. The call comes as investors increasingly look to artificial intelligence and real-world asset tokenization to drive growth across the Ethereum ecosystem.
CoinDesk reported on June 2 that Lee told a recent conference structural changes are underway that could eventually lift Ethereum to $250,000.
AI and tokenization are reshaping financial infrastructure, he said, and that shift could expand the Ethereum network's value into the trillions of dollars.
Lee also said the era of the Ethereum Foundation is drawing to a close. The foundation has spent years reducing its influence over the network and now holds only about 100,000 ETH, he said.
Corporate validators will eventually take over the role once played by the Ethereum Foundation, he added.
On market sentiment, Lee said bearish investors are selling at the bottom. Broad pessimism across the market could itself be a sign that a floor is forming, he added.
Expectations for growth in tokenized assets and stablecoins tied to Ethereum have also been rising. Against that backdrop, some institutions are projecting that ETH's long-term value could exceed current market pricing.
