Tom Lee, known for attaching specific numbers to macro calls that move market conversation, said Ethereum should top $5,000 by the end of 2026, giving the institutional-adoption thesis a concrete price and a hard deadline.
The year-end deadline gives investors a timeline to trade around rather than an open-ended bullish view.
Kalshi ties Lee's call to two live catalysts: ether treasury accumulation by institutions and ongoing ETF flows into Ethereum products.
With the call now public, the $5,000 level becomes a reference point the market will track, whether or not Lee's thesis plays out on schedule.
