COINOTAG News reported on October 26 that Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine—the first institution to hold Ethereum—stated that ETH remains in a supercycle. While markets often lead the fundamentals, Lee notes periods when on-chain metrics drive prices, implying a potential re-pricing in the near term.

Demand for stablecoins has surged, and Ethereum transaction volume has reached a fresh all-time high, underscoring rising on-chain activity on Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. In his CNBC interview, Lee linked this activity surge to stronger underlying fundamentals, even as current pricing lags behind.

Lee added that sustained on-chain momentum could precede a meaningful price response for the crypto market before year-end, depending on liquidity and adoption trends. Investors should monitor ETH metrics and stablecoin flows as leading indicators of the next cycle.
