Fundstrat co-founder and BitMine president Tom Lee, known for his bold predictions about Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market, shared his latest predictions for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Speaking on the YouTube channel Altcoin Daily, Tom Lee said that 2026 could be a strong year for both cryptocurrencies and stock markets.
At this point, Lee suggested that crypto assets and the stock market could see a strong V-shaped recovery next year.
The famous name said that he believes that the coming year 2026 will present one of the most attractive opportunities of recent years for investors, especially for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
At this point, Lee stated that US monetary policy is a significant driver for cryptocurrencies. He stated that after three years of tight conditions, he expects liquidity to improve with the new year, and that with a new Fed chair and a decrease in financial pressure, there will be a strong environment for market recovery.
According to Lee, while institutional demand continues to rise, the supply of BTC and ETH on exchanges is falling sharply, which he sees as a sign that a local bottom may be forming.
“Bitcoin has become an institutional asset, and Ethereum’s long-term competitiveness is strengthened by the expansion of stablecoins and asset tokenization.
A V-shaped recovery may be seen in 2026.
“I think Bitcoin could rise to the $100,000-$150,000 range by the end of next year, and Ethereum could rise to the $7,000-$9,000 range by the end of January next year.”
As you may recall, Tom Lee recently spoke to CNBC and stated that he abandoned his year-end prediction of $250,000 for BTC. Lee said that there is a high probability that Bitcoin will surpass $100,000 by the end of the year.
