Fundstrat Co-Founder Tom Lee pointed out that since the escalation of the Middle East conflict, Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin and the stock market. Current war expenses are approximately $30 billion per month, expected to increase to $100 billion in the future, while rising energy prices have a limited impact on consumers. He believes that in the context of high fiscal spending and energy volatility, the allocation value of crypto assets is increasing.

ME News update: On April 6 (UTC+8), Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, said that since the escalation of the Middle East conflict, Ethereum has become the second-best performing asset, while Bitcoin ranks third, and both have significantly outperformed the stock market overall. He pointed out that current war spending is about $30 billion per month and could rise to a scale of $100 billion in the future; by comparison, the impact of rising energy prices on consumers is relatively limited—every $10 increase in oil prices corresponds to only about $4 billion to $5 billion per month in consumer pressure. Tom Lee believes that amid high fiscal spending and energy volatility, the allocation value of crypto assets as “liquidity and risk assets” is increasing. (Source: ChainCatcher)
