Description

At Binance Blockchain Week 2025, held on December 3–4 in Dubai, Tom Lee-Co-founder of Fundstrat and Chairman of BitMine-delivered a keynote titled "The Crypto Supercycle Intact." In his speech, he systematically outlined his long-term bullish thesis on the crypto market. His core arguments included: why tokenization is the defining theme of 2025; why he believes Bitcoin and Ethereum have already bottomed; how the traditional four-year cycle is being disrupted; why Ethereum is positioned as foundational infrastructure for the future global financial system; and why Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies will play a critical role in the next phase of crypto financialization.

Tom Lee argues that Bitcoin's cyclical logic is being reshaped by industrial and inflation cycles, rather than the familiar four-year halving pattern. On tokenization, he emphasizes that the true transformation goes far beyond simple "digitization of assets." In his view, the future of finance involves deep financial decomposition and reconstruction, where stocks, cash-flow streams, product lines, and even the implied economic value of a CEO can be fragmented, priced, and tokenized-enhancing transparency, predictive power, and hedging efficiency across capital markets. He also describes how BitMine, as a representative DAT, aims to serve as a bridge between Wall Street and the crypto ecosystem.
