Tom Lee: Ethereum as a "truly neutral public blockchain" will be favored by Wall Street and the White House

On September 24th, Tom Lee, the co-founder of Fundstrat and the chairman of BitMine, stated that Ethereum, as a "truly neutral public chain", will gain favor from Wall Street and the White House. During the 2025 South Korea Blockchain Week Impact Summit, Lee said, "No one would believe that there is a hidden hand manipulating Ethereum towards a specific interest group. Considering the operating logic of Wall Street, they will only conduct business on a neutral chain." He further pointed out that the White House and Congress, which are moving towards a pro-crypto policy with the support of the Trump administration, are mainly choosing Ethereum as the technological foundation. Lee emphasized, "Combining autonomous AI and robotics technology is about to drive the demand for a tokenized economy, and most of this will occur on Ethereum. In fact, President Trump just mentioned the need for 'human proof' to protect society today, and the related work will mainly be completed on Ethereum."
