Wall Street’s Stealth Crypto Accumulation Is a Bullish Signal, Says Bitmine’s Tom Lee

Institutional money is flooding into crypto—they’re just not bragging about it yet.

While retail traders obsess over short-term volatility, Wall Street’s quietly building positions. ‘When the suits buy discreetly,’ notes Bitmine’s Tom Lee, ‘it means they see real value—not just hype.’

The irony? These are the same firms that dismissed Bitcoin as a ‘fraud’ at $3,000. Now they’re scrambling for exposure while pretending to review ‘blockchain use cases.’

One hedge fund manager (who demanded anonymity) put it bluntly: ‘We’re accumulating before the pensions and endowments FOMO in. The real rally starts when they start justifying their fees for ‘digital asset allocation.’’

Lee’s verdict? ‘This isn’t 2017. The smart money’s playing the long game—and they’ve got deeper pockets than your average crypto Twitter influencer.’
