Will Ethereum Soar to $15,000? Tom Lee Thinks Robots and Trump Are on It 🤖💰

by

Ah, Ethereum – that digital chimera known as ETH, currently flailing just below the quite modest threshold of $4,200. Like a stray cat chased from a banquet table, it’s seen some strong selling pressure. Yet Tom Lee of BitMine Technologies, that ever-hopeful conjurer, waves his magic crypto wand and prophesies a miraculous ascent to $12,000-$15,000 by year’s end. Because why not? In the grand theatre of blockchain madness, hope is the greatest currency. 🪄

This, dear reader, means another 200% rally predicted for Q4 2025 – the sort of math that would make even the most stoic accountant spill their morning tea.

Ethereum’s Tripling Ambitions – Wall Street & White House Edition

During his latest cryptic sermon, BitMine’s Chairman Lee described Ethereum as a “truly neutral chain,” which sounds suspiciously like a Soviet-era metaphor for something incomprehensible but important. He assures us that both Wall Street titans and the White House (yes, the same place where policy sometimes resembles improv theater) are warming up to Ethereum faster than you can say, “Is this for real?”

This optimism follows BitMine’s acquisition of 264,000 ETFs this week alone – bringing their hoard to a staggering 2.14 million ETFs, valued north of $11 billion. Clearly, no one’s shy about piling on the ETH wagon.

According to Lee, the White House and Congress, sporting their newfound pro-crypto chic since the Trump administration era – when chaos was its own kind of policy – have trained their sights firmly on Ethereum.

Better yet, Lee speaks of an impending cosmic collision between artificial intelligence and Ethereum itself, promising a future where robots don’t just take your jobs – they pay their rent in crypto tokens!

At the illustrious Korea Blockchain Week 2025’s Impact conference, he opined:

“So when I look at that, combined with agentic AI and robots that are really gonna create the need for a token economy for robots, a lot of that will happen on Ethereum. In fact, President Trump today just talked about how he needs proof-of-human to protect us, and a lot of that work is going to be done on Ethereum.”

Yes, you read that correctly. Robots will need tokens, and Trump is apparently the sheriff in this proof-of-human town. Ethereum’s future, according to BitMine’s oracle, lies somewhere between a sci-fi novel and a fever dream.

Tom Lee stakes a confident claim that Ethereum will climb higher than a cat on strong coffee, with “real price discovery” somewhere whimsically set between $12,000 and $15,000.

Battle of the Crypto Titans: BitMine vs. MicroStrategy

Shifting gears to the gladiator arena, Lee draws a rather cheeky comparison between his own BitMine Technologies and Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy – the two colossal crypto treasuries fighting for supremacy, Ethereum and Bitcoin respectively:

ETH
ETH
$4,172
24h volatility: 0.5%
Market cap: $503.89 B
Volume 24h: $29.88 B

BTC
$113,076
24h volatility: 0.2%
Market cap: $2.25 T
Volume 24h: $47.98 B

Since BitMine focused on Ethereum, their market cap allegedly skyrocketed from $37.6 million in June to a jaw-dropping $9.45 billion. Quite the cosmic leap, wouldn’t you say? They now clutch 2.15 million ETH tokens like a dragon hoarding gold – the largest Ethereum treasury globally, and second only to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin mountain.

BitMine’s grip on trading volume resembles a bear hug from a very enthusiastic friend – institutional interest is unmistakably thick in the air.

Lee claims both companies have transmogrified into large-cap stocks, poised for passive inflows as they waltz into major indices during some upcoming financial rebalancing – because what’s more thrilling than large-cap stocks masquerading as crypto gods? 💃🕺
