Thomas Jong Lee,常被称为 Tom Lee,是美国知名的股票市场策略师、研究主管与财经评论员。

他出生于美国密歇根州 Westland,是韩裔移民家庭的第三个孩子,父亲为精神科医生,母亲则从家庭主妇转型为 Subway 连锁店经营者。Lee 此后进入宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院,主修金融与会计。据《华尔街日报》2021 年 1 月报道,Lee 经常在忙碌的一天后做饭放松,尤其喜欢尝试重现母亲做过的韩国菜。他为人低调,风格学者化,面对批评者时少有反驳,而是尝试以数据回应。在接受采访时他曾表示,「我无法反驳批评者。我不知道会发生什么。股市并不在乎我的意见,所以我只能努力理解市场在说什么。」

Lee 的华尔街职业生涯始于 1990 年代,曾在 Kidder Peabody 和 Salomon Smith Barney 工作。1999 年加入摩根大通,2007 年起担任该行首席股票策略师,直至 2014 年离职。在任期间,他因多次发表乐观的市场观点而受到媒体关注,也曾因坚持批判性研究而卷入行业风波。

2002 年,Lee 作为摩根大通电信分析师发布了一份关于无线运营商 Nextel 的研究报告,质疑其客户流失率与坏账准备的会计处理是否真实反映实际情况。报告发布当日,Nextel 股价短暂下挫 8%,随后公司高层强烈反击,CFO 和总法律顾问分别致电摩根大通研究主管与法务部门,指控 Lee 使用误导性假设,甚至怀疑其在报告正式公开前已将部分内容泄露给特定投资者。摩根大通随后展开为期两周的内部调查,审查其邮件与通话记录,最终确认 Lee 并无不当行为。《华尔街日报》以「Unhappy Firm Bites Back」为题报道了此事,引发关于华尔街分析师独立性的广泛讨论。该事件成为 Lee 职业生涯中具代表性的冲突案例,也确立了他坚持数据导向、不迎合市场与投行客户压力的研究风格。

2014 年,Lee 联合创办独立研究机构 Fundstrat Global Advisors,并担任研究主管,从传统投行策略师成功转型为独立研究机构领导人。他是首位将比特币纳入主流估值体系的华尔街策略师之一。2017 年,Lee 发布题为《A framework for valuing bitcoin as a substitute for gold》的报告,首次提出比特币具备部分取代黄金作为价值储存工具的潜力。该框架基于三项关键参数构建:美国基础货币供应的年均增速(约 6.5%)、黄金等替代资产价值与货币总量的倍数(模型中取值约为 400%)、以及比特币在该替代价值体系中的潜在市占率(模型基准为 5%)。根据该估值模型,比特币在 2022 年的理论价值中枢为 20,300 美元,敏感性分析显示估值区间介于 12,000 至 55,000 美元之间。Lee 在报告中指出,随着加密资产总市值突破 5,000 亿美元,央行与机构投资者可能将其纳入外汇储备与资产配置考量。

同年,Lee 亦在 Business Insider 的节目中介绍其短期估值模型,基于 Metcalfe 定律(即网络价值与用户数的平方成正比),将比特币独立地址数量作为用户 proxy,乘以每用户日均交易量后回归分析得出,该模型可解释自 2013 年以来约 94% 的比特币价格变动。

Lee 的研究风格强调数据驱动与历史类比,尤其擅长中长期趋势预测。2020 年 3 月疫情引发全球市场暴跌时,Lee 是最早预测「V 型反弹」的策略师之一,坚定建议投资者趁低加仓。2021 年 5 月,在比特币从 6 万美元高点大幅回调至 3 万美元区间后短暂反弹之际,Lee 接受 CNBC《TechCheck》节目采访,重申他最初于 2020 年 12 月提出的观点,即比特币将在年末突破 100,000 美元。他表示:「比特币本质上极度波动,但正是这种波动带来了回报机会」,「即使现在比特币被打入冷宫,我仍认为它年末能突破 10 万美元」。此外,早在 2019 年,Lee 就曾在 CNBC 节目中建议普通投资者将 1% 至 2% 的资产配置于比特币,现场主持人惊讶回应「这听起来有点疯狂」(「That sounds kind of crazy」),该片段随后广泛传播,成为他坚持比特币立场的代表性瞬间。

2023 年 12 月,Lee 在 Fundstrat 年度展望中提出 S&P 500 在 2024 年将升至 5,200 点,彼时指数仍处于 4,600 附近;该目标在 2024 年年中提前实现。随后他在 Bloomberg《Odd Lots》播客中进一步表示,受益于企业盈利增长、估值重估与技术创新,S&P 500 到 2030 年有望达到 15,000 点,并重申比特币在 wallet adoption 持续增长的情形下,长期潜在估值可达百万美元级别。

在职业生涯中,Lee 也经历过关键判断失误。1990 年代,他曾作为无线通信行业分析师看好该领域的高速增长,但在互联网泡沫破裂后,相关板块大幅下挫。他在 2008 年金融危机前也一度低估房地产市场的系统性风险,后来坦言这是他学到最大教训之一——即股市走势高度依赖信贷市场的信心。他在采访中表示:「一旦信贷市场失去信心,没有任何金融市场能独善其身。」这些挫折促使他日后更加重视周期性指标与资金流动结构,并确立了他以历史数据为锚点的研究风格。

Lee 长期活跃于 CNBC、Bloomberg、Fox Business、CNN 等主流财经节目,常年担任 CNBC《Fast Money》《TechCheck》《Halftime Report》与《Closing Bell》节目的特邀评论员与市场策略分析嘉宾。他因坚持独立观点、多次成功预判宏观市场趋势而受到投资者关注。2022 年美股大幅下跌期间,Lee 坚持看多判断,并在年中提出市场已触底的观点,后续走势亦予以印证,因此被称为「Wall of Worry」中的逆势乐观派代表。

目前,Tom Lee 亦担任 NewEdge Wealth 投资策略顾问,继续在传统金融与数字资产交汇领域发表前沿观点。

战略布局:执掌 BitMine,推进以太坊财政模型

2025 年 6 月,Lee 被任命为 BitMine Immersion Technologies(纳斯达克代码:BMNR)董事会主席,开始参与公司从传统矿业向企业级以太坊(ETH)储备结构的战略转型。BitMine 是一家总部位于美国内华达州拉斯维加斯的数字资产基础设施企业,最初专注于比特币挖矿,采用浸没式液冷技术(immersion cooling)提升能源效率与算力稳定性,致力于构建高性能、低成本的区块链运算平台。

任命当月,公司完成一项 PIPE 私募融资,发行 55,555,556 股普通股及相关证券,每股定价 4.50 美元,募集金额达 2.5 亿美元,并随后提交 S-3 ASR 自动注册声明,启动不超过 20 亿美元的 ATM(按市价增发)计划,由 Cantor Fitzgerald 与 ThinkEquity 担任销售代理,资金将用于构建 ETH 财政储备。

截至 7 月中旬,公司披露其 ETH 总持仓达 300,657 枚,市值超过 10 亿美元,其中包括由 2 亿美元现金支持的约 60,000 枚实值期权。Lee 表示,公司正朝着「收购并质押 5% 以太坊总供应量」的目标推进。

随后,Founders Fund 披露持有 BMNR 9.1% 股权,ARK Invest 亦通过场外协议购入 4,773,444 股 BMNR 股票,交易额约 1.82 亿美元,并宣布将全部转换为 ETH 储备以支持公司战略。

7 月下旬,BMNR 启动期权交易,公司进一步提升股票流动性。最新披露显示,BitMine 的 ETH 持仓增至 566,776 枚,市值超过 20 亿美元,为 PIPE 初始金额的近 8 倍,成为目前全球持有 ETH 数量最多的上市公司之一。

Tom Lee:稳定币驱动以太坊成为机构首选

在近期接受 Amit Kukreja 与 CoinDesk 的采访中,Tom Lee 表示他坚定看好以太坊生态,尤其是稳定币和现实世界资产(RWA)代币化趋势的推动。他指出,稳定币的崛起构成了「加密领域的 ChatGPT 时刻」,全球稳定币市值已超 2,500 亿美元,其中超过 50% 的发行和约 30% 的 gas 费用均发生在以太坊网络。随着稳定币获得美国财政部和华尔街支持,以太坊正逐步成为连接加密与传统金融的关键基础设施。

作为 BitMine 董事会主席,Lee 指出相较 ETF 或链上托管模式,以太坊财政型上市公司拥有五项结构性优势:

1. 可在股价高于净资产时通过增发股份购入 ETH,实现每股净资产(NAV)的反身性抬升;

2. 可结合发行可转债、出售期权等工具对冲波动性,在降低融资成本的同时实现低成本甚至零成本建仓;

3. 拥有并购其他链上财政型公司的能力,从而进一步放大 NAV 杠杆;

4. 可拓展 ETH 质押、DeFi 收益、链上基础设施等业务,构建持续性现金流来源;

5. 一旦其 ETH 持仓在链上生态中占据核心地位,或成为稳定币支付与清算网络的关键节点,将具备类似「结构性认购权」(sovereign put)的地位,可能成为金融机构优先收购的战略资产。

Lee 强调,随着 Robinhood 等平台通过以太坊 Layer 2 推出股票代币化服务,越来越多机构开始拥抱合规、可扩展的区块链平台,而以太坊是目前唯一满足监管适应性、生态成熟度与规模效应的主链。

在 CoinDesk 的采访中,他总结道:「稳定币让加密行业完成了类似 ChatGPT 的爆发。华尔街正在寻找一个能够承载现实资产、又符合法规的链,以太坊正在成为那个交汇点。」Fundstrat 分析师将 ETH 的短期技术目标定为 4,000 美元,认为其年末公允价值可达 10,000 至 15,000 美元。Lee 表示:「在当前价位配置 ETH,是企业财政获得 10 倍潜力的有效路径。」

In the Era of Agent Users, Where Does Crypto Value Flow?

Title: Who Makes Money from Agents? The rise of AI Agents as potential blockchain users raises a crucial question: if they become the next billion users, who will capture the value? Traditional crypto value capture theories—like "fat protocols" (where value accrues to the base layer) and "fat applications" (where value accrues to user-facing apps)—assume human users who value UX, brand, and convenience. Agents, however, operate differently: they interact via APIs, have no brand loyalty, and can switch services with near-zero cost. This shift could disrupt existing value flows. Applications might become "headless," offering their routing and infrastructure as APIs to Agents. Alternatively, Agents might bypass intermediaries entirely, allowing protocols to regain value capture ("fat protocols" reborn). A more extreme scenario is that Agents, being purely rational and cost-sensitive, could commoditize the entire stack, compressing margins toward marginal cost and turning crypto into a low-margin utility. However, Agents may not just amplify existing activities; they could enable entirely new ones—like continuous, sub-penny portfolio rebalancing, machine-to-machine commerce, and new market types only viable at automated speeds. This expands the economic pie rather than just redistributing it. Ultimately, the key question for builders is: what will make an Agent return to your service instead of a cheaper alternative? The answer may not be UX but factors like liquidity, latency, settlement guarantees, or a yet-unnamed business model. As humans and Agents will coexist as users, value capture may split: "fat apps" for human-facing services, and a new, evolving model for the Agent-dominated layer.

Base MCP, The Next Step for x402

Base has officially launched Base MCP, allowing users to connect their Base Account to AI Agents to perform actions like swaps, transfers, portfolio tracking, and transaction history queries through conversational commands. This move aligns with Base's strategic focus on AI, driven by the broader competition in the emerging Agent-to-Agent payment sector. The evolution of Agent payments has accelerated. In late 2024, the primary method involved insecure browser automation. By 2025, solutions like Coinbase's x402 (providing crypto wallets for Agents), Google's AP2, and Visa's token-based system emerged. x402 has since processed 176 million transactions totaling over $70 million, with a median value between $0.01 and $0.10. Stablecoins, particularly USDC, dominate these settlements due to their negligible transaction costs compared to traditional payment fees, which are prohibitive for micro-payments. Coinbase faces competition from Stripe, which has built a comparable infrastructure for Agent payments with its Tempo blockchain, Privy wallets, Bridge routing (acquired for $1.1B), and the recently launched MPP protocol. Both companies are now competing at the application layer. The core reason AI is central to Base's strategy is to expand the scenarios for Agent payments, ensuring more transactions occur on its network. By securing a dominant position and scale advantage in this nascent field, Coinbase aims to capture the future commercial potential of Agent-driven payments. The launch of Base MCP is thus a strategic step in this larger ambition.

Reframing Ethereum's Valuation: Why the Fee Model is Wrong, and the 'Treasury Logic' is the Future?

"Rethinking Ethereum's Value: The 'Vault Logic' Framework" Traditional valuation models incorrectly treat Ethereum as a company, valuing ETH based on transaction fees ("revenue"). This is flawed. Fees are network friction; a successful network aims to reduce them to zero. Ethereum's average fee has dropped from over $50 in 2021 to around $0.20 today, while transaction volume has tripled. Instead, view Ethereum as a digital vault securing ~$250 billion in on-chain assets (stablecoins, RWAs, L2 bridged funds, wBTC, etc.). Post-merge, Ethereum's security is directly purchased with its own asset: ETH. To attack the network, an attacker must acquire and control staked ETH. Therefore, the vault's security level is intrinsically tied to ETH's market value. Currently, the value of all staked ETH is only ~$72B, protecting ~$250B in assets—a dangerous imbalance. For robust security, the staked ETH securing the network should be valued significantly *higher* than the total value it protects. Applying a conservative security multiplier suggests ETH's fair value should be closer to ~$6,900 (vs. ~$2,070 currently). As on-chain asset value grows into the trillions, ETH's price must rise proportionally to maintain this security budget. Comparisons to free infrastructure like Linux or low-margin utilities like the DTCC are misguided. Their security is provided externally (community, law, banks). Ethereum's security is internal and must be purchased in the open market using ETH. ETH is not the clearinghouse; it is the collateral backing it. The model is not a short-term price predictor but a structural framework. The economic force for ETH appreciation grows monotonically with the adoption of Ethereum for settling value. The narrative that high fees are good is backwards; low fees enable more activity, which increases the value needing protection, thus demanding a more valuable ETH.

Justin Sun’s Interview with Hurun Report: A New Order and Certainty for Value Flow in the Era of Transformation

In an interview with *Hurun Report*, Justin Sun, founder of TRON, discussed the evolution of the Web3 industry as it moves from initial exploration to large-scale adoption. He emphasized that the core value of blockchain lies in building an open and inclusive internet of value, enabling anyone globally to transfer and use funds efficiently and at low cost, regardless of location or access to banking. Sun highlighted that projects with lasting impact are those built on genuine demand and real-world usage. He pointed to the stablecoin payment ecosystem as the most mature and scalable application currently, noting that TRON has rapidly become one of the world's largest stablecoin networks. The circulation of USDT on TRON has surpassed $86.3 billion, driven by actual use cases such as cross-border transfers and daily payments, demonstrating strong network effects. Regarding strategy, Sun outlined a methodology combining data-driven iteration, rapid execution, and user-centric focus. He cited the decision to partner with Tether to launch TRC-20 USDT as a key strategic move, based on an assessment of market trends and long-term potential, which has become a significant growth engine for the TRON ecosystem. On globalization, Sun stressed the importance of local compliance and cultural adaptation, noting that success in different markets depends on deep understanding and local partnerships. He also addressed the convergence of AI and blockchain, describing it as a transformative direction where blockchain provides decentralized infrastructure for AI, while AI enhances the intelligence and user experience of blockchain systems. For industry participants and young entrepreneurs, Sun advised continuous learning and adaptability in a fast-changing environment, focusing on building irreplaceable core strengths rather than spreading resources too thinly. Through infrastructure development, global strategy, and technological foresight, TRON aims to advance the practical implementation and evolution of the value internet.

Samsung Leverages Technology Cycles, SK Hynix Relies on HBM, What Enabled Micron to Win a Trillion-Dollar Market Cap?

Micron Technology, the Idaho-based memory chip maker, recently saw its market cap surpass $1 trillion, securing its position as one of the top three DRAM manufacturers alongside Samsung and SK Hynix. Its survival and growth story is marked by a unique combination of political maneuvering and hard-won manufacturing efficiency, but also strategic missteps that now challenge its future. Founded in 1978 in Boise without significant government or capital backing, Micron repeatedly turned to Washington for survival during critical junctures. In the 1980s, it filed anti-dumping complaints against Japanese firms, leading to the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement. Ironically, this created an opening for Samsung, which Micron had earlier licensed its 64K DRAM technology to. In 2002, Micron avoided heavy fines in a price-fixing investigation by acting as a whistleblower against its competitors, cementing its reputation as a "political opportunist." A major strategic error occurred in 2013 with its $2.5 billion acquisition of bankrupt Japanese firm Elpida. This deal burdened Micron with integrating incompatible manufacturing processes just as the industry was pivoting toward HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), a critical technology for AI. SK Hynix had launched its first HBM chip that same year. By the time AI demand exploded with ChatGPT in 2022, SK Hynix commanded about 85% of the HBM3 market, while Micron, playing catch-up, held only around 3%. In 2017, Micron employed similar tactics against a new competitor, Chinese startup Fujian Jinhua, by alleging intellectual property theft, which led to U.S. sanctions effectively crippling the firm. However, this strategy backfired in 2023 when China banned Micron's products from its critical infrastructure, causing its revenue share from China to plummet from 14% in FY2023 to just 7.1% by FY2025. Today, Micron faces a triple squeeze: it lags in the high-margin HBM race, faces pricing pressure in low-end DRAM from Chinese manufacturers like CXMT, and has lost crucial access to the booming Chinese AI server market. Despite its political strategies, Micron's core strength is its exceptional manufacturing cost control, achieved through decades of engineering. Its DRAM chips have a smaller cell area than its rivals, yielding more chips per wafer. This efficiency has been vital for weathering industry downturns. However, this advantage cannot compensate for the decade lost in HBM development. Micron is now racing to ramp up production of its HBM3E, certified by NVIDIA, and develop HBM4. Its future hinges on whether it can close this technological "time debt" through relentless R&D and execution, in a marathon where its competitors, having started earlier, are not slowing down.
