Ethereum jumps 7% as Tom Lee highlights its role in AI infrastructure with a $250K price target.

Ethereum's price rose 7% following Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee's assertion that ETH will be the foundational settlement layer for autonomous AI systems. Lee compares Ethereum's potential to Amazon before AWS, suggesting ETH's true value is yet to be realized, with a long-term price target of $250,000. This optimism is supported by a market shift from semiconductor stocks to blockchain infrastructure, increased ETF inflows, whale staking, and growth in decentralized finance tied to AI adoption. Investors should monitor ETH ETF flows, staking rates, and AI-related smart contract activity for signs of sustained demand and development.
