Ethereum's Potential: Tom Lee's $16,000 Prediction and Top Altcoins to Watch

[00:03] end of 2025? This prediction isn't mine; it's Tom Lee's, one of the mine; it's Tom Lee's, one of the than $3 billion worth of Ethereum through his company. What's

[00:16] attracting so many institutions like BlackRock, the world's largest investment fund , which has already invested millions and millions of dollars? In this video I'm going to explain what's happening with Ethereum, what our

[00:29] real prediction is for before 2026, and which cryptocurrencies in its ecosystem have the potential to make a profit or even a huge profit . Remember also that on this channel we share every euro,

[00:42] every decision, every mistake without filters. And if you also want to start on this path, you have everything you need to know in the link in the description. With that said at the beginning of the video, here we can see an interview given by Tom Lee, one of

[00:56] the most important investors in the cryptocurrency sector, saying on CNBC television that Ethereum could reach 16,000. And he explains all this through certain arguments that make a lot of sense.

[01:09] And why is Ethereum and all this important? Because here you see an image of how money flows within the cryptocurrency sector. And this is something super important that you should take into account. Here we can see that we have

[01:23] a first phase, which is the one we have already experienced, where all the capital in the crypto sector, or most of the capital in the crypto sector, goes to Bitcoin. And when we see those huge returns on Bitcoin, as we have seen

[01:36] in this bullish cycle, it has gone from $16,000 to approximately $120,000 where it is now. Then comes the second phase, which is the one we are experiencing now, which is when that Bitcoin money starts to flow into

[01:49] Ethereum, which is the altcoin, that is, the main alternative currency after Bitcoin. And once we see Ethereum performing much is what we are experiencing today in the crypto sector, that money

[02:05] starts to move into the larger caps or altcoins, which are all those below Ethereum. And then finally comes that long-awaited season, which in this video I'm going to explain because it's very likely to arrive

[02:19] altcoins have the most potential to make a 5x increase or even, if everything goes very well, a 5x increase from the current price. And we are seeing that the accumulation of Ethereum by companies is becoming absolutely

[02:33] insane. We can see Bitmine, which is exactly Tom Lee's company, the one we saw at the beginning of the video, Ethereum holdings in the last 30 days have risen by 410%. Or then we have companies like Sharplink

[02:47] Gaming that are related to video games, which have increased by 150%. And this is what's interesting, we're seeing how they're coming in, but in billions of dollars 're no longer talking about millions, we're

[03:01] talking about billions. For example, as I was saying, Bitmine already has over $3 billion in Ethereum. Sharplink has 1.62 billion or the Eer Machine 1.2 million. And even the Ethereum Foundation is already in

[03:16] fourth place. There are companies that are already accumulating more than the Ethereum Foundation itself, which is the foundation that controls the entire ecosystem and the entire Ethereum project. Therefore, as we always say on this channel, if

[03:28] institutions and large corporations are accumulating so much Ethereum, there must be a reason. In fact, in this graph we can see the inflow of capital into Ethereum ETFs. ETFs are regulated vehicles through which institutions can

[03:42] invest in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. And the interesting thing about all this is to see both the inflow and outflow of capital in these ETFs to see what the big players are doing. And apart from these last two days, which were

[03:55] market correction, which was a mini correction because today we are back in the green, look at the capital inflow we are seeing in the Etherium ETFs, I mean, breaking records and we are even

[04:07] seeing news of certain institutions like BlackRock that are starting to withdraw capital from the Bitcoin ETF to invest it in the Ethereum ETF. In other words, the big players also know how money flows in the

[04:19] nursery sector. And it's with the first image I 've shown. Bitcoin First. We have Bitcoin. This doesn't mean it can't continue to rise, but we've already had very good returns on Bitcoin. Now it's Ethereum's turn. And in

[04:33] fact, I want you to look at this table because it gives us some very interesting data about Ethereum. Here we can see the profitability of each month throughout the year for Ethereum in each of the years

[04:45] for Ethereum in each of the years since it was created. We have January, February, March, April, May, June, and so on until December, and we have all the years. We're going to look at the current year, which is the year after

[04:58] the halving; that is, the Bitcoin halving was in 2024 and now we're in 2025. So, let's see what happened in previous bull cycles at this time, right now, in August. Let's take , for example, the 2016 halving.

[05:13] That was the Bitcoin halving. The following year, 2017. What happened in August 2017? August of the year after the Bitcoin halving. Ethereum's price rose by 92%. In August alone, Ethereum

[05:27] doubled its value. And then we can move on to the next halvin. 2020 Bitcoin halving. 2021, the year after Halvin. Look, we had a 35% increase in Ethereum in August alone . We have just

[05:42] experienced a completely bullish July for Ethereum, in which it has risen for Ethereum, in which it has risen 48% in July alone, but it seems that August may also be a very positive month for Ethereum. And with all

[05:55] these price increases, why are institutions starting to see investment? Is it pure speculation or are they really seeing value in it? Well, take a look at this website here, which shows us exactly the inflation rate of

[06:10] Ethereum. And if we look at the last 4 years, we can see that inflation is practically zero. Four years ago we had a circulating supply, that is, Ethereum coins in circulation of 117 million coins. Right

[06:25] now we have 120,000ones. This means that we have had an inflation rate of approximately 3% over 4 years. So, inflation on the part of Etrium, thanks to certain token burns and certain mechanisms that the

[06:39] blockchain has, is practically zero. And this is obviously superfluous for institutions when in an asset with such low inflation. But in addition to this, look, here we can see where most

[06:54] RWA or asset tokenization projects are being built . RWAs are projects that are responsible for tokenizing the economy. We can tokenize anything; we can tokenize real estate, commodities, investment funds. All of this

[07:08] blockchain, and many renowned investment funds and investors have said, and are repeating this over and over, that the tokenization of the economy is the future. And here we can see how by a landslide the majority

[07:23] of RWA asset tokenization projects are on the Ethereum blockchain. Look, Ethereum is the blue one, the whole market it has for RWA. And then we have the rest of the blockchains that are obviously developing but are

[07:36] very far behind. of what Etherium has already developed. And if so much capital from the traditional sector is going to enter tokenization, the blockchain, all those millions or really billions of dollars that enter the blockchain

[07:50] because that's where everything is already developed. And this doesn't only happen with RWAs, but also with the world of defi or decentralized finance. Any investment fund or any large institution

[08:03] knows that decentralized finance is the future, and we can see how 60% decentralized finance is on the Ethereum blockchain. It is true that there are important blockchains like Solana, like BSC, that is, the

[08:17] Binance blockchain, but they are far from the entire market that Ethereum already has . And I'll say the same thing again as with the RWA. All these trillions of dollars that enter the crypto market, decentralized finance, will enter

[08:30] the Ethereum blockchain. And not only because they already have the market or projects, but also because of security. If an investment fund has billions of dollars that it wants to deposit on the blockchain, it will go to

[08:43] blockchain with the most capital. And the most secure blockchain that has proven throughout all these years that it works very well and has the highest security in the world of FI is Ethereum. Therefore, obviously any

[08:57] investment fund is not going to risk its billions of dollars on a blockchain that is newer or has not demonstrated as much security. And all of this is evidence of why Ethereum truly has value. But of course, we should consider that

[09:09] if the market or the economy at a more macro level is not going to rise or if we are not going to have a good economic performance, there is no reason why Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any high- risk asset should rise. But there are two

[09:22] events coming up, or rather, two events happening right now at the positive for the crypto sector. The first of these is that there is already a 93% chance that interest rates will be lowered in September

[09:36] . Why is this important? And we 're talking about the United States because when interest rates fall , borrowing money is cheaper, because you have to pay less interest to pay it back. And this is always

[09:48] positive for the markets, especially for high-risk markets, because people are more risk-averse, meaning they have a greater chance of investing. If I can borrow money, which will be cheaper to pay

[10:01] invest. This is obviously a simplified explanation, okay?, of interest rates, but this is how they work. And it's not just in September that the rate cut is expected;

[10:17] that rates will also fall at the next meeting on October 29. Therefore, if there are two consecutive interest rate cuts in the United States, this will be very positive for the markets. And I also remember learning, and I want you to remember this:

[10:29] markets always anticipate the news that is going to happen. The fact that this is in September when interest rates are lowered . In fact, on the contrary, the market always anticipates events.

[10:43] Therefore, with this September rate cut , we will surely see sharp increases in August, which will anticipate what will happen in moving on to the altcoins in the Eirum ecosystem, which I believe have

[10:57] even, if things go very well, multiply by 5 before the end of this year, we have the global liquidity. We can see here how the price of Bitcoin is literally nailing the global liquidity chart,

[11:10] and right now we have global liquidity, that is, the M2 of dollars, at all-time highs. This usually leads to higher inflation, and therefore many investors take refuge in scarce assets, such as

[11:23] Bitcoin, which is why liquidity always remains high . Here we can see that Bitcoin follows global liquidity, the rest of the altcoins will follow Bitcoin. And we already saw all this 40 weeks ago, that is

[11:36] , a month ago, in this video where I commented that Ethereum was about to explode. And we can see that he was already talking about it when Ethereum was at $2,500, when it wasn't so clear, when

[11:48] investors or people in the crypto sector really didn't trust heavily criticized, but as a result of this news and the fundamentals, we were already talking about it a month ago literally and now we

[12:02] have it at $000 practically a one-for-two for 4 weeks. So if you don't opportunities, remember that you can subscribe to the channel. With that said, let's move on to the altcoins in the [ __ ] ecosystem, which I believe have the most

[12:16] growth potential in the coming months. And the first one is the one we see on screen, which is Ave. Ave is the token of Etrium's main decentralized lending protocol . A decentralized loan is like any

[12:28] traditional bank, but in a blockchain. It's incredibly convenient because we For example, I have Ethereum, which I'm already holding long-term. I

[12:45] go to AVE, deposit my Ethereum, and borrow any cryptocurrency. This way I am using my cryptocurrencies to take out a loan and optimize them. What's happening with AV? It is, as I say, the largest protocol in the

[12:58] decentralized lending, and it is the one that all institutions are using to request these loans. Therefore, their token has tremendous growth potential. In fact, throughout recent videos we've been discussing some

[13:11] very interesting entry points. We were discussing this point here at $250, which it has held perfectly, and then other interesting points could be $265, or even if the market corrects further we

[13:25] could go down to $250. But I still think Ave is at project to discuss has to do with the narrative of RWAs, which we have already discussed throughout the video, the tokenization of assets, and it is profound. In

[13:39] rise today. We've been discussing this project on the channel since around 070 and we've also been talking about good been talking about good entry points. We had the 066, which was a

[13:51] perfect spot. We also marked 085, which it respected perfectly and is currently close to the dollar. I believe that below the dollar are quite Obviously it would have been much better at 0.85 or even 0.6, but below

[14:08] the dollar I think these are very interesting points. It's true that the RWA narrative is progressing a bit slower, but I see a huge future for it because of everything we've already discussed , because of this tokenization of the economy

[14:20] which is literally the future, and we can see that its maximum is exceeding $2. So, the growth potential we have from Ondo is super-intense to me, and it's the main Ethereum blockchain project in the RW.

[14:34] The third altcoin I want to discuss is Memecoin, as you can see on the screen. Before I mention a little gem I've saved for the end of the video, which is Pepe, for me it's the Dogecoin of this bull run. It's the

[14:47] main meme of the Ethereum ecosystem, and I also think that its price is at some super-intense points because we can see how it has maintained, or is we can see how it has maintained, or is maintaining, this support at 0010.

[14:59] talk in terms of 10, and I think accumulating at these prices makes a lot of sense in order to reach the all-time highs. I have no doubt that if Ethereum continues to rise and breaks highs and goes much higher,

[15:14] $6,000,000, Pepe will follow Ethereum because, as I say, it is the main Meme Cocoin . So one way to invest in an ecosystem like Ethereum or any other ecosystem looking for something with more risk is to invest in one,

[15:26] which obviously has much more risk. It's a memecoin, I want to remind you, it's investing in the main memecoin of that ecosystem. If we are looking for higher returns, knowing the risk we are taking and that

[15:38] we can lose all or a large part of our capital, because investment advice and it is a very high- risk investment, then investing in memecoins could be an option. So for all these reasons, Pepe makes a lot of sense to me. I think it's the

[15:51] Doge Coin of this cycle and it's at some very interesting points to try and reach its all-time high by more than one-two . And finally, the little gem that I had left for last, which I have already mentioned in some

[16:03] that's focused on the RWA narrative, but it's much smaller than Hondo. In fact, that's why I say it's a gem, because look, it's ranked 369th on CoinMarketCap, it has a

[16:15] market capitalization of $100 million, meaning it's extremely like the project. They're releasing some very interesting new features that I'll probably be discussing on this channel, and these new features are

[16:28] attracting more investment funds and large institutions that want to invest in RWs, and Clearpool is offering them some very interesting, quite exclusive, and innovative services. So why does

[16:42] all this on a fundamental level? Because I think it's at some very interesting points, as already happened to us with ENA. Also check out this channel on June 22nd, a little over a month ago, we were talking about ENA at the 025. It was a

[16:58] was attracting a lot of institutional funds and at that time I saw a after a month? We've already reached 145%, as you can see, from $25 on June 22nd

[17:12] which by the way, remember that if you don't subscribe. So why did I see potential in him? Because we were at points very close to the lows, that is, we were practically at the lows and I

[17:24] were practically at the lows and I thought, the reflection was, "I have even if we went to highs it would be absolute madness, but the potential for loss is super small because I am already practically at lows

[17:37] and to go all the way down, to historical lows, I would only have a drop of 10 or 15%." Well, Clearpool, obviously, considering that it's a project that makes sense at a fundamental level, is practically the same

[17:50] as ENA was at that time. I don't mean to imply that because same will happen with Clearpool and we'll be 100% guaranteed, not at all , but the potential for growth up to its all-time high versus the

[18:04] potential loss down to its all-time low makes a lot of sense to me, and that's why I'm accumulating Clearpool at these prices. And that concludes the video about Ethereum and all the potential it has for the following

[18:17] months of the cycle before 2026, and also the altcoins in its ecosystem that have the most potential to make a 1x or 5x increase, even if things go very well in the crypto market. I think there's no doubt left that

[18:29] potential of the Ethereum blockchain to start creating projects, decentralized finance, asset tokenization, and also accumulating Ethereum at levels that were being accumulated by Bitcoin before that explosion happened.

[18:42] view, that Ethereum will have no problem breaking its all-time highs and reaching prices that could even exceed $5,000, $6,000 or who knows, maybe even $7,000 in this bullish cycle. So, to wrap things up, remember

[18:57] content, you can leave a like, subscribe to the channel so you don't miss see you in the next one. A decentralized hug. Ah.
