Summary

Tom Lee said Ethereum could serve as the settlement layer for the AI era, framing ETH as what he called the antidote to the "wealth horror valley." He tied that view to what he described as a new foundation for Ethereum, along with institutional adoption, Robinhood Chain and favorable macro trends.
