PANews reported on January 27th that Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee posted on the X platform, stating: "The continued parabolic surge in gold and silver is masking the ongoing strengthening of the intrinsic fundamentals of cryptocurrencies (especially Ethereum and Bitcoin). As emphasized at the Davos 2026 forum, financial institutions have clearly identified Ethereum and smart blockchain platforms as the foundation for building their future financial infrastructure. When fundamentals show an upward trend, it's only a matter of time before prices rise accordingly."
