He argued that scarcity will become increasingly valuable in an AI-driven world. As computing power and digital networks grow, assets that can help secure and control these systems may become even more important.
Rather than focusing on short-term price swings, Lee pointed to long-term adoption trends that continue to support both cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin’s Path to Higher Valuations
Lee outlined two major frameworks for valuing Bitcoin.
The first is network activity. According to him, wallet growth and network usage still explain a large portion of Bitcoin’s long-term price appreciation.
“Wallet activity still explains 87% of Bitcoin’s price appreciation,” he noted.
The second framework compares Bitcoin to gold. Lee argued that Bitcoin is actually scarcer than gold, making it a strong candidate to capture a larger share of global store-of-value demand.
“Gold is not as scarce as Bitcoin,” he said.
Based on that comparison, he suggested that if Bitcoin eventually reaches the same network value as gold, its price could climb to around $2 million.
Ethereum’s Tokenization Opportunity
Lee also highlighted Ethereum’s growing role in the tokenization trend.
According to him, every dollar of tokenized assets has historically created roughly one dollar of value for ETH. As Wall Street continues exploring tokenized stocks, bonds, and other real-world assets, Ethereum could benefit directly from that growth.
“For every dollar of tokenized assets, it’s created one dollar of value for ETH,” Lee explained.
Overall, the recent market weakness does not change the long-term outlook. While many investors remain focused on short-term volatility, he sees Bitcoin’s scarcity and Ethereum’s role in tokenization as two of the strongest themes driving the next phase of crypto adoption.
