The post Why Tom Lee Believes Ethereum Price Could Reach $10,000 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Popular market strategist Tom Lee, founder of Fundstrat, has explained why he believes Ethereum (ETH) has the potential to climb to $10,000. Ethereum’s price has been stuck around $2,400 for some time, without much movement. While some experts like Bitwise think it might not hit new all-time highs this year, Tom Lee remains positive about its future. In an interview with Coinage , said that even though Ethereum slowed down in innovation for a while, it’s now regaining momentum. One reason is the growing trend of tokenizing real-world assets. This means turning things like dollars, company shares, and other financial products into digital tokens. Big companies like Robinhood and Coinbase’s Base network are already working on Ethereum, which helps strengthen its position in the market. Lee also explained that Ethereum is mostly U.S.-based or operates under U.S. regulation, making it a safer and more reliable option for handling tokenized financial products. Another factor, according to Lee, is that many investors have given up on Ethereum, assuming its best days are over. This could actually set the stage for a surprise rally. He said that if the world embraces tokenized assets and starts trading them actively, the value of blockchains like Ethereum will rise sharply. Tom Lee said, “Ethereum could probably go to $10,000 if the world realizes tokenizing assets is the future.” As this trend grows, demand for Ethereum’s network could increase, pulling its price up with it. Ethereum Price Prediction (Short-Term) Ethereum’s price is still moving sideways within a broad range between $2,200 and $2,600. It hasn’t decided whether to move higher or drop towards the support zone again. The price briefly dipped below $2,383 but bounced back, showing bulls are still active at this level. Right now, Ethereum is stuck between the upper and lower boundaries of this range, with no clear breakout yet. If it breaks above the top of the range and holds, the price could target higher levels like $2,530 and $2,780. .
Summary SoFi's re-entry into crypto unlocks a massive new market, with stablecoins and crypto trading poised to drive significant revenue growth. The fintech exited the crypto business in late 2023 due to regulatory pressures to gain the banking license. Crypto fintechs are currently trading at much higher valuation multiples due to the scalable and capital-light business models. Despite recent stock highs, SoFi remains undervalued at 16x EBITDA, especially compared to crypto peers like Robinhood and Circle. While SoFi Technologies, Inc. ( SOFI ) has reported impressive financial results since exiting the crypto sector back in late 2023, the stock has now soared to multi-year highs on just announcing the future launch. The fintech should unlock a whole new segment that has launched a peer stock to a far higher market cap. My investment thesis remains ultra-Bullish on SoFi, even at recent highs, due to a still relatively cheap valuation and a large market opportunity. Source: Finviz Golden Opportunity Back on June 25, SoFi announced the return of crypto to the fintech platform. The company plans to initially offer cryptocurrency trading in the popular coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, along with plans to offer stablecoins, the opportunity to borrow against crypto assets and expanded payment options. Source: SoFi website For now, members have to join a waitlist with an unknown timeline to product launches. The U.S. Senate just passed the Genius Act providing a regulatory path for stablecoins, opening up the door for fintechs like SoFi to launch such products. The stablecoin market is forecasted to rise more than tenfold by 2030 to between $3 trillion and $4 trillion , up from only ~$250 billion now. Analysts at Citizens JMP see the potential for annual revenues from stablecoins opening up a $100 billion opportunity. SoFi originally offered limited crypto trading of up to 20 tokens back in 2023 before exiting the opportunity to pursue a digital bank. SoFi handed the operations over to Blockchain.com and apparently included crypto assets of just under $140 million . The fintech didn't provide a lot of details regarding the crypto business size, probably due to its infancy position, but SoFi has experience in the area and could potentially lead to a snappy re-launch. Robinhood started offering crypto a few years back, and the company only topped $50 million in quarterly revenues in Q1'24. Robinhood recently saw revenues jump to $610 million during the Q4/Q1 period, for an annualized rate above $1 billion. The company reported crypto notional trading volumes in Q1 of $46 billion, vastly larger than the limited balances held by SoFi back in late 2023. The online broker lists a cryptocurrency asset balance of $28 billion to end March. Robinhood has total platform assets of $221 billion, so a lot of questions will exist on whether SoFi has the investment products to achieve any level of success, as the brokerage business isn't a prime focus. Source: Robinhood Q1'25 presentation Left Behind Robinhood has ridden these transaction-based revenues from both crypto and stock options trading to produce an $87 billion market cap, now over 4x the valuation of the similarly sized SoFi previously focused on lending products. SoFi has the potential to use the additional growth from transaction-based revenues to boost the stock valuation. Data by YCharts Even recent IPO Circle Internet Group ( CRCL ) has seen the market cap start to $45 billion based on offering a 2nd largest stablecoin product. Clearly, the market is offering higher valuations to fintechs involved in the crypto sector. Robinhood has seen adjusted EBITDA targets suddenly double the estimates for SoFi. Robinhood now trades at nearly 40x EBITDA targets of $2.25 billion for 2026 while SoFi only trades at 16x a forecast of $1.27 billion for next year. Data by YCharts SoFi has the opportunity to unleash crypto revenues, along with the push into the SoFi Plus subscription service, similar to how Robinhood used the Gold Card product to attract a horde of new customers. SoFi had already forecast 25% annual growth over the next 3 years, while analysts generally aren't forecasting these same growth rates with estimates for growth below 20% in both 2026 and 2027. Source: Seeking Alpha If crypto generates the next inflection point for SoFi, the stock has substantial upside. The fintech would see both a boost to already solid sales growth forecasts and another step up in profits with a possible corresponding valuation multiple boost due to the shift away from relying on lending products for growth while moving to scalable, capital-light revenue. The risk is that SoFi is now late to offer a crypto product with Coinbase ( COIN ), Robinhood and other platforms having first mover advantage. In addition, SoFi might always have a valuation tied to the risks associated with lending products. Takeaway The key investor takeaway is that SoFi already offered a compelling valuation and business model, but crypto could take the fintech to the next level. The stock has a compelling valuation at only 16x adjusted EBITDA targets with much faster growth rates and the opportunity for crypto and new subscription services to boost SoFi to another level.

The 2025 crypto market is shifting fast, and smart investors are adapting even faster. While Solana (SOL) and Ripple’s XRP have retained their credibility as high-cap leaders, there’s an increasing appetite for deeper, more asymmetric opportunities. For many traders, that path now points directly to MAGACOIN FINANCE —a presale project gathering serious traction ahead of its anticipated debut on exchanges. With an influx of capital flowing into early-stage projects, MAGACOIN FINANCE is emerging as the dark horse of Q3. Its well-structured presale rounds, capped token supply, and unique branding have drawn in investors looking for strong setups before the broader market catches on. Early Momentum Propels MAGACOIN FINANCE Into the Spotlight MAGACOIN FINANCE is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about opportunities in early investor circles. The project has closed each presale round ahead of schedule—indicating strong demand and sustained retail engagement. Unlike many meme-token imitators, this altcoin is built around more than just hype. The project’s deflationary supply mechanics , combined with a verified smart contract audit , appeal to long-term investors seeking stability in a volatile market. The lack of VC control adds another layer of appeal, providing retail investors with more favorable tokenomics. Its ecosystem positioning is designed with longevity in mind—offering investors a chance to get in before potential listing events and liquidity unlocks drive price discovery. Solana and XRP: Still Strong, But Missing Early-Stage Edge Solana continues to shine as a Layer-1 protocol, especially given its rapid DeFi expansion and developer activity. Similarly, XRP has gained renewed institutional traction following regulatory victories and ETF developments that could broaden its investor base. Yet among seasoned traders, there’s an understanding that high-cap coins like XRP and SOL have already made their major moves in past cycles. That doesn’t mean they lack potential—but it does mean the returns are more incremental compared to early-stage altcoins that are still flying under the radar. This is where MAGACOIN FINANCE becomes compelling: it offers the kind of presale-phase exposure that XRP and Solana once represented years ago. Strategic Timing Matters in a Rebalancing Market Portfolio rotation is the name of the game in Q3 2025. As investor appetite shifts from consolidation plays to high-upside bets, early positioning in strong presale projects can offer considerable reward. MAGACOIN FINANCE is gaining ground in this narrative—its consistent wallet growth, presale sellouts, and cultural relevance are creating a potent recipe for price appreciation. Analysts now rank MAGACOIN FINANCE among the most interesting early-phase assets for the second half of the year. They cite not just its political and meme-driven momentum, but also its robust underlying mechanics that are catching the eyes of long-term capital allocators. Analyst Insight: MAGACOIN FINANCE Has Breakout Potential Market observers note that MAGACOIN FINANCE checks several of the right boxes: A scarcity-based token model No venture capital dilution Strategic messaging aligned with macro and cultural narratives Consistent momentum ahead of public listings With these elements in place, analysts say the project could outperform many listed altcoins in the next leg of the cycle. If exchange listings arrive as expected, the early buyers from the presale phase could stand to benefit the most. Final Takeaway: Not Just a Meme—But a Calculated Move As 2025 unfolds, it’s clear that investors are not abandoning blue-chip assets like Solana and XRP—but they are actively seeking diversification into more aggressive upside scenarios. MAGACOIN FINANCE represents a rare window of entry—before wider awareness, media attention, and listings shift the pricing floor permanently. For those preparing for the next rotation, MAGACOIN FINANCE isn’t just an option. It’s a strategic move.
