Tom Lee: ETH’s long-term target price is looking at $250k, and it is entering the ETH 2.0 phase

July 13 news, BitMine board director Tom Lee delivered a speech at WebX 2026, reiterating his view that “ETH is money.” He compared Ethereum’s valuation jump from “1.0 to 2.0” like Amazon, NVIDIA, and JPMorgan, and said that Ethereum is entering the ETH 2.0 phase. Looking at the long-term target price, he pointed to $250k. The key drivers he cited include a new foundation era, Agentic-AI, a financial settlement layer, and ETH as a currency. He believes current market sentiment has bottomed out, and that Ethereum is a cure for the “wealth terror valley.”
Tom Lee revealed that BitMine has supported two split organizations of the Ethereum Foundation as the lead investor: EthLabs, founded by former Ethereum Foundation contributors, and the independent non-profit Ethereum Institutional. Both focus on accelerating Ethereum’s “institutional super cycle” and pushing large-scale institutional finance onto the chain, respectively.
Tom Lee said that BitMine currently holds 5.74 million ETH (4.8% of ETH supply). Future goals include: slowing the pace, gradually increasing holdings to 5% of ETH supply, continuing to fund Ethereum Foundation spin-off projects and “public goods,” and investing in financial services and crypto unicorns, while strengthening the Ethereum ecosystem.
