Fundstrat’s Tom Lee predicts crypto will surge once gold and silver’s current rally pauses, based on historical patterns
Gold hit $5,100 and silver reached $110 on Monday, with gains of 17.5% and 57% respectively in 2026
Bitcoin lost 30% since October peak and trades below $95,000, while Ethereum struggles below $3,000
Lee says crypto markets still recovering from October 10 deleveraging event that hurt exchanges and market makers
BitMine bought 20,000 ETH for $58 million Monday and recently staked 209,504 tokens worth $610 million

Fundstrat managing partner Tom Lee told CNBC on Monday that cryptocurrency markets are being overshadowed by record prices in precious metals. He expects digital assets to catch up once gold and silver take a break from their current rallies.

Lee explained that crypto should be rising due to a weaker dollar and Federal Reserve easing. The industry lacks leverage because it delevered after recent events.

Gold prices reached an all-time high of $5,100 on Monday. The precious metal gained 17.5% since the start of 2026.

Silver hit $110 at the same time. It jumped 57% so far this year.

Market observers link the precious metals surge to geopolitical tensions and trade tariff threats. US dollar weakness also pushed investors toward safe-haven assets.

October Crash Still Affecting Markets

The largest cryptocurrency struggled to gain momentum above $95,000. It dropped back to $86,000 support on Monday.

BitMine Continues Ethereum Purchases

Lee’s Ether treasury firm BitMine bought another 20,000 ETH for $58 million on Monday. Data from Lookonchain confirmed the purchase.

The company also staked 209,504 tokens worth $610 million. BitMine has added 2,218,771 ETH to its staking portfolio since launching the program.

This represents 52% of its total Ethereum reserve. The company now holds 4.2 million ETH in total.

CryptoQuant analyst GugaOnChain offered a different view on Monday. The analyst said dollar weakness doesn’t automatically mean Bitcoin will rise.

Bitcoin traded at $88,202 while Ethereum was at $2,924 on Monday. The total crypto market cap reached $2.99 trillion with a 1.1% increase.
