Tom Lee, the chairman of BitMine, Ethereum's largest treasury, stated that Ethereum has a strong group of leaders and developers who can ensure it continues to be the future settlement layer for finance and AI.

Currently, much of the bearish sentiment is just despair and mutual blame at the bottom of the crypto winter. Blockchain is the only viable way for agentic AI to conduct business interactions while significantly improving the profitability of the financial system. I will continue to be optimistic about ETH.
