Tom Lee Predicts Recovery in Crypto Market by 2026

On February 15, Tom Lee shared insights during an interview with Rug Radio founder Farokh Sarmad. According to BlockBeats, Lee described the current crypto market as experiencing a 'mini winter,' suggesting it is not a prolonged bear market but will require time to stabilize. He advised investors to start buying in batches at low points rather than waiting for a perfect bottom, noting that the market's challenges could persist for several months to half a year, with a significant turnaround expected by 2026. Tom Lee expressed no regrets about purchasing ETH early, stating that ETH is near its bottom, potentially dipping briefly below $1800 or $1890. He highlighted that historically, there have been eight instances of V-shaped recoveries. Lee views ETH as a long-term investment, underpinning stablecoins, AI, and the creator economy over the next 15 years. Lee also reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin could rise to $200,000-$250,000 by 2026, with Ethereum reaching $12,000-$22,000 based on historical ratios.
