Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee has predicted a 15x rally for Ethereum, which would see the cryptocurrency surge to $60,000 highlights a bullish undercurrent often missed during market consolidation.
While ETH price action might appear muted, veteran strategists point to tangible Ethereum institutional adoption drivers as the real signal for future potential. Key factors include firms adopting ETH treasury strategies, rising Spot ETF inflows, and Ethereum’s central role in the booming RWA tokenization market, all indicating increasing Wall Street integration; elements already set up to trigger an immediate rally to push Ethereum’s price to $8,000 by the end of 2025.

Corporate ETH Treasuries Signal Growing Wall Street Conviction
The crypto analyst noted that many Wall Street companies have launched Ethereum Treasury Strategies, including Lee’s Bitmine, an originally Bitcoin mining firm that switched to a 100% ETH treasury strategy. Bitmine currently holds approximately 3.4 million ETH, representing about 2.7% of the total ETH supply.
Other renowned Wall Street companies holding significant amounts of Ethereum tokens include Sharplink Gaming, Bit Digital, Coinbase Global, and ETHZilla. Each of these companies owned at least 100,000 ETH worth hundreds of millions of dollars as of the time of writing. CoinGecko’s data reveals 14 firms that hold a combined total of 4,663,201 ETH worth approximately $18 billion.
Spot ETH ETFs Provide Compliant Institutional On-Ramp
In the meantime, the crypto analyst cited ETH spot ETFs as another element that supports a growing Ethereum demand.
These are products that provide ideal opportunities for institutional investors to participate in digital asset investment. There are currently nine spot ETF products in the market, but the analyst believes this number will increase, and the amount of inflows into the existing products will surge.
RWA Tokenization Surge Positions Ethereum as Foundational Layer
Perhaps the strongest long-term signal comes from Ethereum’s dominance in Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Bringing assets like real estate and bonds on-chain promises major efficiency gains, and Ethereum is the primary venue.
The analyst noted the growth of the RWA market, which exploded from $8.6 billion to $25 billion this year, citing it as a signal of what is to come. According to the analyst, the RWA market is expected to surge to between $10 trillion and $30 trillion by 2030, with Ethereum taking center stage.
