Tom Lee: $2 Trillion Wealth Transfer Possible in the Next 3 Years, Crypto Asset Demand May Benefit

According to CoinDesk, Bitmine Immersion Technologies Chairman Tom Lee stated that the ongoing intergenerational wealth transfer in the coming years could become a key driver for the next wave of demand in the crypto market. Based on data from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Fundstrat research, it is estimated that approximately $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion in wealth will be transferred between generations from 2026 to 2028. Since younger investors inheriting wealth typically have a higher risk appetite, they may increase allocations to risk assets such as crypto assets and stocks. Tom Lee further added that Wall Street's accelerated adoption of blockchain technology for asset tokenization, advancements in AI applications, and treasury companies holding crypto assets for the long term could also serve as growth drivers for the future market.
