PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, has expressed concerns that the parabolic rise in gold and silver prices is overshadowing the strengthening fundamentals of cryptocurrencies, particularly Ethereum and Bitcoin. Lee emphasized that financial institutions have clearly identified Ethereum and smart blockchain platforms as the foundation for building future financial infrastructure, as highlighted at the Davos 2026 Forum. He noted that when fundamentals show an upward trend, it is only a matter of time before prices follow suit.
