Tom Lee: Ethereum price could reach $7,000 to $9,000 in early 2026

According to Cointelegraph, Tom Lee stated on the "Power Lunch" program that as Wall Street accelerates the tokenization of assets and moves financial activities on-chain, the price of Ethereum could rise to between $7,000 and $9,000 by early 2026.

Tom Lee pointed out that as Wall Street experiments with on-chain settlements and tokenized securities, the investment value of Ethereum is increasingly tied to its use as financial infrastructure. Tom Lee mentioned related initiatives by Robinhood and BlackRock. He stated that this shift could enhance the efficiency of traditional finance while laying the groundwork for the practical applications of Ethereum. Tom Lee also added that as Ethereum becomes more widespread, its price could eventually reach $20,000.
