Ethereum Gains Favor with Wall Street and White House

According to BlockBeats, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, stated that Ethereum is emerging as a "truly neutral public blockchain" favored by Wall Street and the White House. During the 2025 Korea Blockchain Week Impact Summit, Lee emphasized that Ethereum is perceived as free from manipulation by any particular interest group. He noted that Wall Street's operational logic aligns with conducting business on neutral blockchains. Furthermore, under the Trump administration, which has shifted towards pro-crypto policies, both the White House and Congress are primarily choosing Ethereum as their technological foundation. Lee highlighted the impending demand for a token economy driven by autonomous AI and robotics, predicting that much of this activity will occur on Ethereum. He also mentioned that U.S. President Donald Trump recently spoke about the need for "human proof" to protect society, with related efforts expected to be primarily executed on Ethereum.
