Tom Lee: Ethereum, as a "truly neutral public chain," will be favored by Wall Street and the White House

BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated that Ethereum, as a "truly neutral public blockchain," will be favored by Wall Street and the White House. "No one believes that there are hidden forces manipulating Ethereum to favor specific interests," Lee said during the Impact Summit at Korea Blockchain Week 2025. "Given Wall Street's operating logic, they will only operate on a neutral blockchain." He further pointed out that the White House and Congress, which have shifted to pro-crypto policies under the support of the Trump administration, are primarily choosing Ethereum as their technological foundation. "The combination of autonomous AI and robotics will create demand for a token economy, and much of this activity will occur on Ethereum," Lee emphasized. "In fact, President Trump just mentioned today the need for 'proof of humanity' to protect society, and this work will be primarily accomplished on Ethereum." (The Block)
