Tom Lee: $500B Crypto Surge Could Be the Start of a Larger Move

Tom Lee said the crypto market's $500 billion surge may not just be price catching up, but fundamentals finally being recognized.
Crypto added $500 billion in market cap within days, with Ethereum jumping from around $1,900 to nearly $2,600, outperforming Bitcoin. Tokenization is also gaining traction, with major financial institutions building products, particularly on Ethereum. Lee added that AI agents may not want traditional financial systems, making crypto rails a major use case for the next cycle.
