Tom Lee: Asset tokenization and Agentic AI may trigger a new round of ETH price increase

According to PRNewswire, Tom Lee, Chairman of the Bitcoin treasury company Bitmine, stated that during historical cryptocurrency bull market cycles, the ETH/BTC ratio typically rises as Ethereum's usage increases compared to Bitcoin, such as during the NFT boom of 2020-2021 and the stablecoins of 2025, both of which have been significant catalysts for the growth of Ethereum applications. In the next cycle, Wall Street's tokenization of assets and deployment on the blockchain, along with the use of Agentic AI on the blockchain, may further drive the ETH/BTC ratio higher.Since the third quarter of 2026, ETH has been the best-performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 index by 5430 basis points as of last Friday; the three best-performing asset classes since June 30 have been ETH, BTC, and SOL, with cryptocurrency assets showing significant outperformance compared to other macro assets so far in the third quarter, which is expected to further attract institutions to increase their allocation to cryptocurrency assets.Tom Lee added that as we enter the last few months of 2026, the crypto market faces several positive catalysts, including the anticipated vote on the CLARITY Act in mid-September, South Korean investors re-entering the crypto market and shifting from AI stocks to cryptocurrencies, and what he believes will be a bottoming out of the "four-year cycle" in the coming weeks. These factors may pave the way for a large influx of institutional funds in the last few months of 2026.

Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein maintain an outperform rating on Robinhood Markets with a target price of $160, stating that its newly launched Layer 2 network, Robinhood Chain, has become a source of profit for the company. Since its launch on July 1, the network has generated approximately $39 million in fees, with annualized fees expected to reach $160 million by 2028. Over the past 15 days, Robinhood Chain has topped all chains with approximately $33 million in fees, surpassing Solana (approximately $11 million) and BNB Chain (approximately $9 million).According to the Bernstein report, Robinhood retains about 90% of the fees, with approximately 10% going to Arbitrum, which provides the technology, and less than 1% paid to Ethereum as data fees. The value of tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain has risen from about $10 million to $140 million over the past two months, accounting for approximately 32% of the value of tokenized equity transfers in the week of August 30, second only to BNB Chain. The total supply of stablecoins on the chain has reached approximately $1 billion, a significant increase from about $241 million in early July, with USDG accounting for about 66% and USDe for about 33%.Robinhood's stock price fell 2.09% last Friday, closing at $122.11, with the target price implying about 31% upside potential.

first_img The United States' crackdown on Iranian oil tankers has driven up oil prices, while Bitcoin has fallen nearly 1% to $79,700

Bitcoin price fell nearly 1% to around $79,700, as escalating conflicts between the United States and Iran pushed oil prices higher. The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Saturday that it struck three Iranian oil tankers located near Halk Island, Jask, and the Gulf of Oman. Admiral Brad Cooper stated that if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, the U.S. will impose a higher economic cost.The U.S. Central Command updated maritime blockade data, stating that since resuming operations on July 14, it has redirected 92 merchant ships, disabled 3, and boarded 2 for inspection. Oil prices rose by 1% in both the U.S. and European markets, with WTI at $92.72, marking a cumulative increase of over 6% in the past seven days. The rise in oil prices could exacerbate global inflation, making it more difficult for central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to cut interest rates.Additionally, the U.S. employment data for August released last Friday was stronger than expected, reinforcing expectations for an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. However, Trump immediately posted on Truth Social calling for a rate cut, stating that a strong nation means lower interest rates. This uncertainty may dampen risk appetite for Bitcoin and the broader market. Furthermore, late Sunday night, the Liquid Network, used by exchanges as a settlement layer, suffered a $320 million attack.

first_img ASUS and GIGABYTE have raised the prices of graphics cards in mainland China, with increases of up to 500 yuan

ASUS and Gigabyte, among other graphics card manufacturers, plan to raise product prices in the mainland Chinese market again in September, by up to 500 yuan (approximately 2,300 New Taiwan dollars). The price increase effect will also boost the performance of ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Leadtek, and Chengqi.According to reports from mainland Chinese media IT Home, ASUS will raise the net cost price of the NVIDIA RTX 5070 series by 150 to 300 yuan in September, while prices for other series models will remain unchanged. Gigabyte will increase the price of all models in the NVIDIA RTX 5060TI 16G series by 200 yuan in September, while other models will remain the same. AMD's RX 9070 XT series will increase by 200 yuan; the RX 9060 XT 16G/8G series will increase by 200 to 250 yuan; and the RX 7650 GRE series will increase by 400 yuan.The main reason for the price increase is the shortage of memory, and production capacity has also shifted towards manufacturing AI computing power GPUs. NVIDIA has again lowered the overall shipment volume of consumer GPUs by 15% to 20% for the third quarter, and the estimated supply for various brands in September is similar to that in August, with supply still tight. The high-end models such as the NVIDIA RTX 5080 and 5070 TI remain among the most out-of-stock models. This year, NVIDIA has raised graphics card prices multiple times, and September marks another increase.

Serenity: The storage prices and supply-demand structure remain tight, and a short-term increase does not indicate that the bottleneck has been broken

Serenity posted a reminder that the fundamentals of storage shortages have not changed and may even become more acute. The market will shift from one bottleneck sector to another, but the companies themselves remain unchanged; what changes are the valuations and narratives. Serenity added several pieces of evidence suggesting that the storage supply-demand gap may be worse than the market expects: Nikkei reported that Japanese distributors claim the storage demand gap has reached 40% to 60%, and prices may rise by about 50% by the end of the year; SpaceX has not accounted for the approximately $1.3 trillion capital expenditure from ultra-large cloud providers, and total spending may exceed expectations; SanDisk's expected gross margin of 80% is expected to be maintained until 2030; and order visibility for companies like Samsung has extended to 2031.Serenity emphasized that storage stocks are highly volatile, with some of its positions showing unrealized gains of over 270%, making them easier to hold. However, the company's operational fundamentals and short-term stock prices often do not align. The same logic applies to other bottleneck areas such as optical modules, CW lasers, and substrates; after a rebound in stock prices, there is no need to assume that shortages have ended. Storage prices and supply-demand structures remain tight, and market sentiment and valuation narratives are rapidly rotating.
