Tom Lee: ETH Could Soar Well Above $10,000 in the Next 12 Months On September 30, 2026, BitMine Chairman Tom Lee @fundstrat stated in an interview with CoinDesk @CoinDesk during Korea Blockchain Week that he’s unsure if ETH can hit the $10,000 mark predicted by Arthur Hayes by the end of this year. However, he believes the price could be significantly higher than that level in the next 12 months. He also mentioned that Hayes’ prediction might be conservative and discussed the potential returns for BitMine shareholders based on a hypothetical 25x increase in ETH’s price—though he clarified that 25x is not a specific price target he’s setting. Wu Blockchain reminds us that Tom Lee’s market predictions tend to be optimistic, and his bullish targets don’t always materialize. The actual market trends could differ significantly from his forecasts. During last year’s KBW, he also predicted ETH would reach $10,000 to $12,000; however, the crypto market experienced the “1011 flash crash” afterward. Source: CoinDesk
