  "account": "Tom Lee believes the next 12 months will be a bullish period for crypto. He leads research at Fundstrat Global Advisors and chairs BitMine Immersion Technologies, which holds 5.93 million ether. Lee argues that the crypto market has already experienced significant liquidations, with over $19 billion in leveraged bets vanishing in a single day following a threat of 100% tariffs on China. Bitcoin trades near $77,315, roughly 39% below its record high.\n\nLee predicts the market will catch up, citing the potential for tokenization. This process involves moving stocks, bonds, and funds onto blockchains instead of traditional banking systems. BlackRock's Larry Fink has stated that every asset can be tokenized. Lee calculates that shifting $100 trillion of assets to blockchain could generate $1.1 trillion in annual income, valued at $20 trillion if priced like a normal business. However, some experts argue that this is merely \"tokenization theater,\" with only 0.06% of the value on chain and 56% of it not seeing any weekly transfers.\n\nA key issue is the CLARITY Act, which would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) control over spot crypto markets. The agency already acts in this capacity. Lee suggests that the question people should ask is whether they want to be right or make money. Fundstrat has recommended a 2% crypto allocation for over a decade, and in client accounts that took it, crypto now makes up more than 85% of the portfolio.",
