(BMNR), said on Friday that cryptocurrencies' so-called "boomer moment" was not a sign of a market top but rather a shift in banking infrastructure.<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S1TF3tMqvc">Speaking</a> on The Meb Faber Show, the Fundstrat co-founder pushed back on Jeffrey Gundlach's quip that "crypto is all about boomers now," saying that the capital flowing into crypto ETFs is stable long-term capital rather than speculative money. "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. The first is the tokenization and instant settlement of real-world assets covering real estate and artworks, which enables 24x7 trading and new forms of collateral. The second is AI agents completing identity verification and holding digital wallets by relying on blockchain.&nbsp;Lee has long held a bullish view on the positioning of the two major public blockchains. He maintained his position that Bitcoin (BTC) will serve as the dominant value storage layer, while Ethereum (ETH) will act as the computing layer.Lee had argued that Ethereum's neutrality is its&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/ethereum-will-be-the-chain-you-can-rely-on-vitalik-buterin/cZBdSOJRIzl">main competitive advantage</a> over rival layer-1 chains. "Ethereum is a truly neutral chain. I don't think anyone ever feels that someone's got a fat finger tilting it in their favor," he said. "If one of the banks creates their own layer one, calling it, I don't know, too-big-to-fail bank layer-one blockchain, no one is going to feel that's a neutral blockchain."<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BMNR">BMNR’s stock&nbsp;</a>was down 0.2% in after-hours, after&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bmnr-risks-drop-below-20-while-retail-traders-turn-on-tom-lee/cZXm234RekP">closing below $20</a> on Friday. However, on Stocktwits, retail sentiment around BMNR remained in the ‘bullish’ zone, while chatter improved to ‘extremely high’ from ‘normal’ levels over the past day.He added that Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the world, earns an annual profit of 15 billion US dollars with only 300 employees, a performance that would rank it as the world’s eighth most profitable bank. Drawing on the same logic that Netflix used to disrupt the traditional film and television industry, Lee predicts that within a decade, five out of the world’s top ten banks will be native digital banks.&nbsp;Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/gemi-stock-rallies-to-near-2-month-high-retail-traders-see-bargain/cZXmcb5RejC">GEMI Stock Rallies To Near 2-Month High – Retail Traders See ‘Bargain’ After Winklevoss Fund Values Shares At More Than Double Market Price</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com

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.

"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.
