Tom Lee just dropped a nuclear take: $BTC to $250K and $ETH to $12K by end of 2026.
His thesis? Crypto winter is dead. $ETH becomes the settlement layer for Wall Street AND AI infrastructure.
That's not just bullish—that's institutional adoption on steroids. If tradfi + AI rails run through Ethereum, we're talking about a complete paradigm shift in how value moves.
$250K $BTC means we're still early. $12K $ETH means DeFi becomes the backend of finance.
Wild? Yes. Impossible? Not if the macro liquidity thesis plays out and ETH captures even 10% of what he's predicting.
