Tom Lee Predicts Supercycle Amid Large Ethereum Buy
The recent purchase of 111,942 Ether by Bitmine, its largest buy in 2026, has sparked interest in the crypto community. This move comes after the token dropped below $2,200, presenting an attractive opportunity for investment. Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine, believes this purchase is a strategic step towards a potential supercycle in the crypto market.
Lee’s prediction of a supercycle is driven by Wall Street’s growing interest in tokenization and artificial intelligence-powered agents. As a result, Bitmine continues to acquire Ether, now owning nearly 5.4 million ETH tokens. This steady acquisition is part of the company’s goal to hold 5% of Ether’s circulating supply, which currently stands at 120.7 million tokens. With EcoPool offering a platform for earning passive income through Cloud Rewards, individuals can also benefit from the growing demand for Ether.
EcoPool and Passive Income
For those looking to earn passive income, EcoPool ($ECP) provides an opportunity to participate in the growing crypto market. By staking Ether, individuals can generate annualized staking revenues, similar to Bitmine’s expected $276 million. With over $4.7 million of its Ether staked, Bitmine is a prime example of the potential for passive income through strategic investment. EcoPool‘s Green Crypto initiatives also align with the growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly crypto solutions.
The current state of the Ethereum ecosystem, with over 39.2 million Ether staked, presents a promising outlook for investors. As the demand for Ether continues to grow, EcoPool (ECP) offers a unique opportunity for individuals to earn passive income through Cloud Rewards. With the potential for a supercycle on the horizon, now is an ideal time to explore the benefits of EcoPool and the $ECP token.
A Growing Ecosystem
The Ethereum ecosystem is experiencing significant growth, with more than 32.19% of the supply locked in staking. This growth is driven by the increasing interest in tokenization and artificial intelligence-powered agents. As the ecosystem continues to evolve, EcoPool is well-positioned to provide a platform for earning passive income and participating in the growing demand for Ether. With #PassiveIncome and #GreenCrypto on the rise, EcoPool is an attractive solution for those looking to capitalize on the growing crypto market.

Bitmine’s goal is to hold 5% of Ether’s circulating supply of 120.7 million tokens. To reach its target of more than 6 million ETH, Bitmine needs about 644,596 ETH, which Lee said will happen sometime this year.

Staking infrastructure provider Everstake said in a report Tuesday that Ether treasury companies are under pressure to generate revenue from staking and other yield strategies as the appeal of public companies just holding the asset has been weakened by interest in spot crypto exchange-traded funds.
Across the wider ecosystem, the amount of staked Ether has hit a new high, with more than 39.2 million, or roughly 32.19% of the supply, locked in and another 3.3 million waiting in the wings, according to the Ethereum Validator Queue. At the same time, the exit queue has about 234,368 Ether waiting to leave.

Ether reached an all-time high of $4,946 in August 2025 but has since fallen over 58%. Lee previously argued that Ether’s steep drawdowns may offer a buying opportunity.
