A $260 BILLION ASSET MANAGER IS USING ETHEREUM AS AN OFFICIAL LEGAL REGISTER “We've now sort of promoted Ethereum to be an official source of records for ownership of regulated funds in the UK.” Ian Wallis of Baillie Gifford, founded in 1908, explains the milestone achieved alongside BNY Mellon and UK regulators. 🔹 No separate vehicle 🔹 No off-chain ownership register 🔹 The token itself represents legal ownership With those on-chain records extending into Hong Kong and Singapore, public Ethereum is becoming core infrastructure for regulated global capital markets.

TOM LEE THINKS WALL STREET COULD BE GETTING THE MIDTERMS WRONG Just 14% of Americans would support an AI data center being built in their community, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. That's the political backlash worrying investors ahead of tomorrow's election. But Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com sees a very different outcome. Even if Democrats take control of Congress, he believes the jobs and billions in investment generated by AI infrastructure could encourage political support once the election is over. He also sees two potential catalysts for stocks: 🔹 Gridlock could limit major policy changes. 🔹 Election clarity could bring sidelined investors back into the market. Tom still expects stocks to finish 2026 strongly. Wall Street is worried about the political threat to the AI boom. Tom Lee believes the economic incentives behind it could prove far more powerful.

TOM LEE: THE LAST THREE MARKET SHOCKS BOTTOMED WITHIN THREE DAYS With the Nasdaq plunging more than 5% and the Dow falling nearly 1,800 points, Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com admitted today's selloff caught him by surprise. But he sees similarities to three previous market shocks: 🔹 DeepSeek's AI selloff. 🔹 The Liberation Day tariff shock. 🔹 The AI "Situational Awareness" selloff. Tom Lee says the longest any of those episodes took to bottom was three days, followed by sharp V-shaped recoveries, with some six-month gains exceeding 20%. His comparison suggests a potentially short-lived liquidation event, although he also raised reports of hedge fund liquidations. The next few sessions will test whether history repeats or this shock proves more persistent.

TOM LEE EXPECTS AT LEAST A 15% TECH RALLY BY YEAR-END After an 11% correction, Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com believes the bottom is “very likely in.” Investors have been selling over war-driven inflation, AI funding concerns and election uncertainty. His comparison: the earlier 12% Nasdaq selloff that was followed by a 15% rally. He sees a similarly oversold setup today. His call is explicit: at least 15% upside for QQQ between now and year-end. The key test now is whether earnings and credit markets support a recovery, or turn those fears into something more damaging.

TOM LEE: THIS IS CASH RAISING, NOT THE TOP Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com says the market is getting hit because institutions are raising cash ahead of the $75B SpaceX IPO. They may need cash for the IPO, then more cash to build a full market weight position in the aftermarket. That means selling recent winners. But Tom says the charts are not broken, this dip gets bought, and because so many people think SpaceX marks the top, it probably is not the top.

TOM LEE: AI FEARS MAY BE PREVENTING THE VERY BUBBLE INVESTORS FEAR While markets worry about excessive AI spending, Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com argues that continued breakthroughs and discipline in debt markets are signs of a healthier investment cycle. His argument is worth considering: 🔹 AI discoveries are still accelerating 🔹 Capital spending is being scrutinized 🔹 Lending discipline may limit speculation The distinction for investors is important: a correction in valuations doesn't necessarily mean the underlying technology boom is ending. And if AI fears are contributing to the broader risk off selloff, the implications extend beyond tech stocks to crypto and $BMNR. Is Wall Street confusing a correction with the end of the AI investment cycle?

TOM LEE: WE’RE 90–95% THROUGH THE SELL OFF “I’d buy the market today.” That’s the call right now. It all comes down to positioning. 🔹 VIX: above 30 🔹 AII sentiment: bulls minus bears ~-20 🔹 Goldman: hedge fund selling = capitulation 🔹 Since 1900: markets bottom early in wars (~first 10%) Too many investors have already de-risked. When positioning gets this neutral, the market doesn’t need good news. Just less bad news to trigger a V-shaped recovery.

🚨 TOM LEE SAYS THE MARKET STILL HAS A RUNWAY HIGHER TOM LEE says stocks remain healthy despite higher oil, higher yields and Middle East risk. His key point is simple: The US has two major structural advantages right now. 🔹 AI leadership 🔹 Energy independence 🔹 Resilient earnings 🔹 Trillions in private IPO wealth coming He says SpaceX, OpenAI and other major IPOs could create several trillion dollars of wealth for private investors. That wealth effect becomes a tailwind for the economy later this year. Oil is the risk. AI, earnings and liquidity are the upside. TOM LEE still sees more upside into year end.

TOM LEE: AI INCREASES THE NEED FOR BLOCKCHAIN Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com says the bull market is still intact, but the bigger point is crypto.

TOM LEE: ETH COULD HIT $60,000 Ethereum is coming out of a massive multi-year consolidation. The last 2 times that happened, ETH went 227x and 54x. This time the drivers are even bigger: 🔹 Stablecoins 🔹 Tokenization 🔹 Agentic AI 🔹 On-chain equities Even JAMIE DIMON now admits crypto is better than the current financial system. LEE says ETH is better positioned today than it was in 2021. At $250K BTC, 25% of Bitcoin implies ~$62,000 ETH. That’s why he sees $60,000 by 2028–2029. ethereum:native

🚨 TOM LEE: $BMNP IS “A REALLY CHEAP CALL OPTION” ON ETHEREUM BitMine’s 9.5% preferred costs roughly $35 million a year in dividends. Its ETH staking operation is expected to generate close to $300 million annually at today’s price. Tom's logic: 🔹 Preferred capital buys ETH without issuing common stock 🔹 Staking rewards comfortably cover the dividend 🔹 Higher ETH prices widen that advantage 🔹 The result is more ETH per $BMNR share BitMine needs roughly 200,000 more ETH to reach 5%. Lee expects staking to produce around 120,000 ETH annually, leaving only 80,000 ETH, worth about $160 million, to fund. “I don’t think we’re going to end up with billions of dollars of BMNP unless we expect to go way beyond 5%.” That final line is the one to remember. $ETH

🚨 TOM LEE: MARKETS ARE IGNORING THE BEARISH SETUP Wall Street came in ready to short. Positioning was for downside. Long war, risk off, lower prices. Instead, markets are rallying. That’s the signal. When everyone expects bad news and price refuses to go down, it means the selling is already done. Demand is stronger than the narrative. That’s how upside starts.

RAOUL PAL: ETHEREUM IS "WILDLY UNDERVALUED" This is exactly how I see Ethereum's future. Raoul Pal, Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com and I share a fundamental belief: the transformation of global finance will create enormous demand for programmable blockchain infrastructure. And Raoul makes a particularly important point: Ethereum's value goes far beyond the fees it collects today. Look at what's already built on Ethereum mainnet: 🔹 $144B in stablecoins 🔹 $50B locked in DeFi 🔹 $16.8B in tokenized real-world assets And we're still in the early stages of tokenized equities, AI agents and automated financial markets, potentially creating another enormous wave of demand for smart contracts. The opportunity isn't simply how much Ethereum is worth today. It's how much of tomorrow's financial system could ultimately depend on it. And with more than 6 million ETH, BitMine is making one of the largest bets on that future. $ETH $BMNR
