Tom Lee, Fundstrat's co-founder, remains bullish on Ethereum heading into 2026, predicting significant upside driven by tokenization trends, stablecoin growth, and institutional adoption. He forecasts ETH reaching $7,000-$9,000 by early 2026, with longer-term targets up to $14,000-$20,000 or even $60,000 in a supercycle scenario tied to Wall Street's blockchain shift. Meanwhile, "Rekt" (likely the crypto trader/influencer) teases a WorldStar collaboration, hinting at mainstream cultural crossover for crypto projects.[ from prior context]
Tom's ETH Bull Case
Tokenization of assets like treasuries and equities positions Ethereum as the settlement layer for a "financial internet," amplified by ETF inflows and scalability upgrades. Lee sees ETH outperforming Bitcoin, with BTC hitting $200K-$300K but ETH's utility driving higher multiples amid Fed easing. Current ETH price hovers near $2,978, down from yearly highs, setting up potential rebound if macro stabilizes.
Broader 2026 Predictions
Expect Bitcoin new highs early 2026 from adoption and liquidity, with alts like XRP/ETH benefiting from regulatory clarity (e.g., CLARITY Act, SEC resolutions).[ from prior] Risks include Trump-Fed tensions delaying cuts, but tokenization boom outweighs volatility.[ from prior] Overall market eyes 200x growth in tokenized finance.
Rekt-WorldStar Tease
Rekt Capital's hint at partnering with World Star HipHop signals crypto's push into hip-hop/street culture, potentially via memes, NFTs, or viral campaigns to onboard retail.[web: context from query] This aligns with 2026's narrative of mass adoption beyond finance. Watch for announcements boosting sentiment in low-cap alts.
