At the Impact conference, held as part of Korea Blockchain Week 2025, renowned analyst and chairman of BitMine Tom Lee shared his views on Ethereum's prospects. He noted that, in the context of increasing automation and the integration of artificial intelligence, this blockchain has the potential to become the foundation for a new tokenized economy.
According to Lee, Ethereum stands out for its neutrality and versatility. "The financial sector is always looking for tools that are independent of political or corporate interests. Ethereum meets these requirements, which is why it could become the preferred technological foundation for Wall Street firms," the expert stated. He also noted that President Donald Trump has previously emphasized the need for proof of human involvement to ensure security, and that most such solutions could be implemented on Ethereum.
The analyst is convinced that blockchain's capabilities extend far beyond financial transactions. Its potential extends to areas such as artificial intelligence, digital identity, and enterprise applications. It is this versatility that makes Ethereum the most promising project for long-term economic adoption.
Speaking about the future of the cryptocurrency's price, Lee expressed confidence that Ethereum will not only surpass its previous highs in the coming years but also reach a so-called "fair price" in the range of $12,000 to $15,000. However, he noted that these benchmarks may only be an interim target, as institutional investor interest could significantly accelerate growth.
According to the head of BitMine, with corporations and financial institutions actively exploring the potential of blockchain, Ethereum is gradually becoming the fundamental infrastructure for the digital economy of the future. This process strengthens the long-term prospects of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and strengthens its position in the global market.
Lee also previously noted that a combination of two factors could drive increased interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum in the fourth quarter of this year: global monetary easing by central banks and traditional seasonal market activity.
Therefore, Ethereum is viewed not simply as a technological platform, but as a key element capable of enabling a new stage of development for the financial industry and the digital economy as a whole.
