Ethereum outperforms AI hardware stocks by 55% as key infrastructure for AI economy

Ethereum (ETH) has outperformed AI hardware assets, specifically the Roundhill Memory ETF tied to global AI chipmakers, by 55 percentage points in the past month. Fundstrat's Tom Lee argues that ETH is not just a speculative asset but a critical infrastructure layer for the AI economy, providing a neutral, programmable system for autonomous AI agents to transact securely. Institutional interest is growing, highlighted by inflows into ETH spot ETFs like BlackRock's ETHA. This positions Ethereum as a strategic investment alternative to betting solely on AI hardware makers, though competition from other blockchains like Solana and Layer 2 networks remains.
