BlockBeats News, January 21 — BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated in an interview with Wilfred Frost’s “Investment Master Podcast” yesterday that 2026 will be similar to 2025, with the blockchain and artificial intelligence industries expected to benefit. However, risks from tariffs and political disagreements will initially hinder the market’s continued rise. Tom Lee predicts that U.S. stocks will first pull back 15% to 20% this year, but he believes “the year will ultimately end on a strong note,” with the market benefiting from the Federal Reserve adopting a more dovish stance.
Tom Lee also said he still expects Bitcoin to reach a new all-time high this year, but he did not mention his previous prediction that Bitcoin would reach $250,000 in the coming months.
