*Fundstrat co-founder + BitMine Chairman massive ETH holder: Arkham shows BitMine now 6M+ ETH (∼4.9-5% supply, $16.4B, 85% staked) bought $75M+ last week — weekly buying since Jun 2025*
- *Thesis: ETH in ∼5-year broad consolidation ranged $1,500-$1,600 support, faded $4,000 in 2024, $4,900 in 2025 — now launchpad, not stagnation — agreed with Alpha Metrics post "mega rally"* $AIN $COLLECT $STRK
- *Price calls:*
- *Near term: $3,000 reasonable, new ATH this year (above $4,878 Nov 2021 record) — says "could hit new ATH this year" and surpass $5,000 before end 2026*
- *Long term: if repeat 17x post-2018 bear breakout — 10-12x above prior $5k high = ∼$50k-$60k in "a couple years" — explicitly NOT 12-month target*
- *Drivers: Wall St tokenization (Robinhood + Coinbase building tokenized stocks on Ethereum L2s), secure chain + liquidity, AI agents using ETH for payments, ETH/BTC ratio breaking multi-year downtrend at 0.02994*
- *Current price in your draft wrong — ETH not near $4,800 today — was $2,650 Sep 23 with rejection at $2,800 — up 7%+ in September but -4% last week on Treasury yields*
*BREAKING 🚨 Tom Lee sees ETH breaking $5k after 5-year base 🚀 Fundstrat: ETH consolidation 2021-2026 = launchpad, ATH this year — BitMine holds 6M ETH ($16B, 5% supply) and still buying — LT call 10-12x prior high to $60k in couple years on tokenization + AI agents — not immediate 10x — current ETH ∼$2.7k after $2.8k rejection 📈*
