Updated: Jan 06 2026- Bitcoin New High Expectation: Tom Lee predicts Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high by the end of January 2026, acknowledging that earlier projections of exceeding $200,000 in 2025 were overly optimistic, yet framing the recent pullback as consolidation rather than a trend reversal.
- Ethereum Value Reassessment: Lee emphasizes that Ethereum is dramatically undervalued and entering a multi-year expansion phase akin to Bitcoin's 2017-2021 cycle, suggesting that assets with potential 10x upside are becoming essential components of strategic treasury allocations.
- XRP Leads Market Rebound: XRP surged approximately 9% after breaking through a key resistance level, pushing Bitcoin closer to $95,000, which reignited risk appetite across crypto-linked equities, with Coinbase shares rising nearly 9% following an analyst upgrade.
- Regulatory Environment Shift: The SEC and CFTC are now exclusively led by Republican commissioners, promoting a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance, although this concentration of power has sparked tensions in Congress, both agencies intend to advance crypto policies regardless of legislative timelines.
