ChainCatcher News, Tom Lee stated in an interview with Rug Radio founder Farokh Sarmad that the current crypto market is experiencing a “mini winter.” It is not a long-term bear market, but it will take time to digest. Investors are advised not to wait for the perfect bottom and to start buying in batches at lower prices now. The pain may last several months to half a year, but there will be a clear turning point in 2026.
Additionally, Tom Lee said he does not regret buying ETH early and mentioned that ETH is currently near the bottom (possibly briefly dropping below $1,800 or $1,890), but history shows eight V-shaped rebounds. In the long term, ETH is “the story for the next 15 years”—the underlying asset for stablecoins, AI, and creator economy.
Finally, Tom Lee once again predicted that Bitcoin will rise to $200,000–$250,000 by 2026, and Ethereum, based on historical ratios, will reach $12,000–$22,000.
