Tom Lee, Who Lost Billions of Dollars Buying Ethereum at the Peak, Breaks His Silence – Is He Regretting It? What’s Next?

Market strategist Tom Lee, in an interview with Farokh Sarmad, described the current downturn in the cryptocurrency market as a “mini winter.” According to Lee, this isn’t a long-term bear market, but rather a period the market needs to digest.

Lee urged investors not to wait for the “perfect bottom,” arguing that a gradual buying strategy is more rational during downturns. He stated that the current difficult period could last from a few months to six months, and that a truly strong recovery would likely not occur until later in 2026.

Lee stated that although he bought Ethereum at its peak levels, he does not regret his decision. He noted that Ethereum’s current price levels are quite close to its bottom, and while the price might briefly drop below the $1,800-$1,890 range, this may not be permanent.

Lee, recalling that historically there have been eight “V-shaped” sharp recoveries, stated that Ethereum forms the fundamental infrastructure for the stablecoin ecosystem, AI applications, and the content creator economy in the long term. According to Lee, ETH is “the foundation of the next 15-year story.”

Tom Lee also reiterated his price predictions for 2026. According to him, Bitcoin could rise to the $200,000–$250,000 range, while Ethereum is projected to fall between $12,000 and $22,000. He stated that these projections are based on historical growth rates and previous cycles.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
