🔥 TOM LEE: CRYPTO HAS BEEN A “HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT”
The permabull has spoken, and he isn’t pulling any punches. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee—usually Bitcoin’s biggest cheerleader—just labeled the current crypto market a “huge disappointment.”
If you’ve been staring at your portfolio wondering why the moon mission got grounded, here is the "why" behind the slump and the reason Lee thinks the party isn't over just yet.
🏛️ The "Safe Haven" Hijack
The biggest story right now isn't Bitcoin; it’s Precious Metals. With Gold recently shattering records above $5,500/oz, Lee notes a massive rotation. Crypto traders are feeling "major FOMO" watching Gold and Silver fly while BTC lags.
The Trade: Investors are fleeing to the "Old Guard" of assets to hide from global instability.
The Result: Liquidity is being sucked out of the crypto ecosystem and poured into vaults.
$XRP 🇬🇱 The "Greenland Shock" & October Scars
Lee points to two massive roadblocks that killed the momentum:
The Oct 10 Deleveraging: The market is still "concussed" from the $20B wipeout last autumn. Confidence hasn't fully returned.
$ZK Geopolitical Chaos: The "Greenland Shock" and renewed tariff wars have kept institutional "risk-on" appetite at an all-time low.
$1INCH 📈 Why He’s Still Not Selling
Despite the "disappointment" tag, Lee isn't jumping ship. He highlights a historical pattern: Gold rallies often act as the "scout" for the next crypto leg up.
"When the gold trade gets crowded and the FOMO peaks, that capital historically rotates right back into the fastest horse—which is Bitcoin."
Lee is holding the line on his $200k+ target, betting that once the geopolitical dust settles, the "disappointment" will turn into the biggest buying opportunity of 2026.
