TOM LEE SAYS GOING LONG ETHEREUM $ETH IS THE BEST TRADE MOST INVESTORS ARE MISSING
@fundstrat believes Ethereum offers a unique opportunity to benefit from two major trends:
- Going long ETH is what Lee considers the easiest alpha opportunity, with the potential for a high Sharpe ratio
- Ethereum benefits from the AI revolution through its programmability, which can help prevent exploits
- Wall Street's move toward blockchain tokenization represents another major growth opportunity for Ethereum
DAN NILES SAYS INVESTORS NEED TO PROFIT FROM BOTH RISING AND FALLING STOCKS
He explains why being flexible and knowing when to short can be just as important as picking long-term winners:
- In 2022, the Magnificent 7 fell an average of 46%, while the S&P 500 $SPX declined 19%, creating opportunities for investors willing to short stocks
- Between March 2000 and October 2002, the S&P experienced seven rallies averaging 14% but eight declines averaging 19%, ultimately losing nearly half its value
- Former market leaders like AOL, Yahoo, Nokia, and Netscape lost their dominance, showing why investors can't assume today's winners will stay on top
🚨 TOM LEE:
"As long as the AI trade isn't extinguished, which we don't expect..."
"I think it's gonna come out of this correction, we've got a big rally into year end"
🚨 TOM LEE (@fundstrat) ON WHY THE S&P 500 CAN HIT 8,200 BY YEAR END:
"I think the 4th quarter could be one of the biggest rallies, and I think it continues to next year to one of the biggest rallies of our lifetime"
He says tech will do the heavy lifting:
"I think we could easily be above 8,200 by the end of the year, and that's because tech is gonna be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. The Mag 7 are starting to come back to life"
And says the AI trade is still intact:
"As long as the AI trade isn't extinguished, which we don't expect, I think it's gonna come out of this correction, we've got a big rally into year end"
TOM LEE SAYS THE MARKET LIKELY BOTTOMED LAST WEEK AS STOCKS RALLY ON BAD NEWS
@fundstrat points to two encouraging signals suggesting the recent market selloff may be over:
- Despite negative headlines involving NVIDIA $NVDA and Texas taking action against Elon Musk's companies, the affected stocks are rallying
- The VIX term structure, which inverted last week, has now normalized, a signal that often accompanies market bottoms
- Markets rising despite bad news reinforce Lee's belief that last week's lows marked the bottom
TOM LEE SAYS THIS CRYPTO CYCLE WILL BE ABOUT ETHEREUM $ETH, SMART CONTRACTS, AND TOKENIZATION
@fundstrat believes rising AI cybersecurity risks will make blockchain technology increasingly important:
- AI is becoming increasingly capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in corporate databases and traditional cybersecurity systems
- Blockchain's transaction records, chain of custody, and smart contracts could help protect the financial system, with public blockchains offering greater censorship resistance
- Bitcoin $BTC will remain important, but Lee expects this cycle to focus on smart contracts and tokenization, with Ethereum as the leading platform
DAN NILES SAYS ANTHROPIC WILL HAVE TO IPO, BUT AT A MUCH LOWER VALUATION THAN INVESTORS EXPECT
His bearish outlook on Anthropic's IPO highlights the risks investors should consider, including those watching $ANTZ:
- Anthropic faces hundreds of billions of dollars in capital commitments, making a public listing necessary in his view
- Slowing growth and rising funding costs could force the company to accept a lower valuation and raise significantly less capital than expected
- Other major companies are raising massive amounts from the same investors who would participate in Anthropic's IPO, potentially limiting available demand
🚨 TOM LEE (@fundstrat) ON WHY HE’D BUY THE TECH SELLOFF:
"I think we're near the end stages of the sell-off, because it's become a consensus short to be shorting tech."
On the AI spending debate:
"The mobile network build was about 25 trillion, and roadways are 25 trillion... I think AI is a more important infrastructure build arguably than mobile."
"I don't think there's too much money being thrown at AI today."
What’s changed:
"The Fed, quite hawkish, now it's flipping potentially dovish, and interest rates, which were touching 5%, people fearing 6%, are now back below 5%."
The remaining risks:
"Debt markets are kind of closed at the moment, and of course, the uncertainty about the war."
ARK SEES ANTHROPIC REACHING A $1.5T TO $2T IPO VALUATION
The estimate is based on Anthropic's rapid revenue growth and comparisons to publicly traded AI software companies.
- Anthropic is estimated to generate $70B–$80B in annualized revenue
- Public AI software leaders trade at 20x–30x forward sales
- Anthropic is growing at triple-digit rates, compared to double-digit growth for public peers
I wonder what @fundstrat makes of this potential IPO valuation.
ARK THINKS ANTHROPIC COULD REACH A $1.5 TRILLION TO $2 TRILLION IPO VALUATION
The valuation estimate is based on Anthropic's rapid revenue growth and comparisons with publicly traded AI software companies:
- Anthropic is estimated to be generating $70B to $80B in annualized revenue while already being profitable on an adjusted operating basis
- Public AI software leaders trade at 20x to 30x forward sales, implying a potential $1.5T to $2T valuation for Anthropic
- While public peers are growing at mid-to-high double-digit rates, Anthropic is growing at mid-to-high triple-digit rates, supporting the case for a valuation in that range

TOM LEE SAYS ETHEREUM $ETH WILL BECOME MONEY AND A STORE OF VALUE LIKE BITCOIN $BTC
@fundstrat believes tokenization could fundamentally change how investors view Ethereum:
- Bitcoin is primarily seen as a store of value, while Ethereum has been associated with the financialization of Wall Street
- Ethereum is increasingly becoming a collateral layer for transactions, giving investors a reason to hold ETH
- As Ethereum becomes the most widely used trading pair for tokenization, Lee expects a narrative shift toward ETH being viewed as money and a store of value
