On-chain data indicates that institutions, including Wall Street via ETFs, are aggressively buying Ethereum, while retail investors are selling. The speaker advises viewers to follow the money, highlighting that institutions and corporations are realizing they are underexposed to crypto. With 95% of Bitcoin's supply mined and a significant portion of investors not owning any, Ethereum, with its lower market cap and even lower investor exposure, is gaining traction. Anticipated regulatory developments and rate cuts are expected to further drive adoption, with the speaker predicting Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by year-end and Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin in the next 3-6 months.

While remaining bullish on both, he points out that Tom Lee's company holds a significant amount of Ethereum and that Wall Street generally favors Ethereum over Bitcoin due to its growth potential and technological appeal.

Why Ethereum will hit $10k [3:41]

The passage of the Genius Act has further spurred the proliferation of stablecoins, with banks now building stablecoin products.
