In a new interview with CNBC, Lee said crypto \u201cbest years are still definitely ahead,\u201d even as prices struggle to find direction.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to adoption numbers rather than charts:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cToday, there are only four million Bitcoin wallets with $10,000 in them. There are 900 million IRA and brokerage accounts globally that have $10,000, so that\u2019s 200 times larger a market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

It needs time and access.<\/p>\n<h2>Short term noise versus long term structure<\/h2>\n<p>Lee acknowledged recent disruptions. He referenced concerns tied to quantum computing and a sharp deleveraging event on October 10. Still, he described the broader setup as constructive heading into 2025.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think that there have been some concerns about quantum, and then there was that huge deleveraging event on October 10th, but the crypto fundamental story is exiting on a really high note this year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The US government passed legislation and regulations favorable for crypto, and we know Wall Street has expressed a lot of interest in building products on the blockchain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

His digital asset treasury company, BitMine Immersion, added 102,259 Ethereum over the past week. The company now holds more than $11.7 billion worth of ETH, making it the largest Ethereum treasury vehicle globally at time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>The accumulation reflects a belief that Ethereum infrastructure plays a central role in future finance, not just trading.<\/p>\n<h2>Bridging crypto and traditional finance<\/h2>\n<p>On CNBC, Lee described BitMine role in simple terms. BitMine <em>\u201cis becoming more of a bridge to Wall Street,\u201d<\/em> with exposure to decentralized finance and blockchain based financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>That framing matters. Instead of positioning crypto as an alternative system, Lee frames it as connective tissue. DeFi, tokenization, and blockchain rails sit alongside existing markets rather than outside them.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/tom-lee-says-crypto-best-years-still-ahead\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) Crypto prices wobble.
