🚨After Tom Lee released the statement that "Ethereum will surge to $7,000-$9,000 in early 2026," many people took it as just another bullish declaration. But if you only look at the price tags, you miss the point — Wall Street is transforming Ethereum into their financial高速通道.
This is no longer a retail game. Giants like BlackRock and Robinhood are coming in, bringing not "advice to buy," but infrastructure for "trillions-level traditional assets to go on-chain." Ethereum is gradually evolving into the settlement hub of this digital migration.
The question is: when so much money flows in, who will handle the congestion and risks on this高速公路?
So the real knife behind Tom Lee's words is here — Ethereum's price increase is just a surface phenomenon; fundamentally, the underlying assets of traditional finance are silently undergoing a digital transfer through Ethereum and various protocols. The $7,000? That’s just the first milestone of this great migration.
The choices before us are straightforward:
· Keep an eye on the K-line and pray ETH rises to 9000? · Or see through the underlying infrastructure driving the price up — for example, in the wave of asset tokenization, playing the role of liquidity providers?
In a bull market cycle, most people earn beta returns by following the trend. The true alpha is hidden in those protocols that lay the foundation for the entire rally.
When Wall Street’s capital train runs on Ethereum tracks, are you cheering from afar, or participating in laying down this track? The answer will directly influence your position in the new cycle.

The pattern has formed, but there are some issues with the signal on the chip distribution side.
The retail investors watching the K-line are still waiting for Tom Lee's statement to materialize. Smart people have already ambushed at the underlying protocol level.

It's just a fancy way of saying settlement hub. In plain terms, it's about betting on who can absorb the risk. Retail investors are still watching the K-line, while institutions have already explored the underlying layers.

To be honest, I've heard this narrative too many times... Does Wall Street coming mean guaranteed profits? I still can't understand who is cutting whom.
Wait, are the liquidity providers serious? It seems like the risk is even greater.

To put it simply, when BlackRock comes, it's all about harvesting. Retail investors are still watching the K-line, while those above are already laying the tracks.

These Wall Street folks are really changing the game rules, while retail investors are still watching candlestick charts.
Basically, it's a game of抢位置, with latecomers left in the dust.
However, that $9,000 figure... feels a bit optimistic, doesn't it?
