BitMine’s Chairman, Tom Lee, has shared his perspective on the recent surge of crypto-focused treasury companies and the future of this multi-billion-dollar trend. Related Reading: Ethereum Ready For ‘Rapid Expansion’ As Price Holds $3,900 Support – 30% Rally Coming? Crypto DATs Bubble Already Burst On Thursday, BitMine’s Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee joined Fortune’s Crypto Playbook Podcast to discuss the surge of Digital Assets Treasury (DAT) companies and why he thinks the bubble surrounding these vehicles may have already burst. Discussing the need for this alternative type to get exposure to crypto assets, Lee argued that DATS “are not just passive vehicles,” and properly executed companies will get capital and be supported by investors. He noted that companies like Strategy and BitMine, the two largest crypto treasuries in the world, both see several billion dollars of daily trading volume, adding that “the two companies combined are 86% of all trading volume for the DATs.” Lee was also asked about the argument that the trend is creating a potential bubble. Fortune’s senior crypto analysts questioned whether the bubble might burst and have a negative impact now that there are hundreds of DATs in the market. He affirmed that the bubble has likely already burst, at least to some capacity, and argued that around 80% of these firms are trading below the net value of their underlying assets. “If that’s not already a bubble burst (…), how would that bubble burst?” Nonetheless, BitMine’s chair explained that instead of questioning if a bubble has burst, he prefers asking if the market has become discerning, which he thinks it already has. BitMine, Not ‘Just’ A DAT? Lee argued that, while other crypto treasuries have not been creators of shareholder value, BitMine is “not just a DAT,” but also the largest holder of Ethereum (ETH) in the world. Notably, BitMine is a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on accumulating crypto for long-term investment. The company aims to own 5% of Ethereum’s total supply, currently holding 3.03 million ETH tokens, or over 2.5% of the total supply. According to Lee, this gives BitMine multiple roles, including providing a significant amount of security to the Ethereum network. Based on these roles, he considers the company is “essentially a liaison between how Wall Street views future upgrades to Ethereum, to the community.” “So we’re not just a DAT. We’re becoming, you know, one of the important voices within Ethereum, and that really was our goal. You know, that’s why, when BitMine was created,” he said. Adding to his argument, Lee has previously asserted that the company is confident that the two “Supercycle investing narratives remain AI and crypto,” which will “play out over decades.” Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) ‘Uptober’ Rally On Pause Until This Level Is Reclaimed As a result, he considers that “Ethereum remains the premier choice given its high reliability and 100% uptime.” During the Podcast, BitMine’s chairman reaffirmed this stance, stating: “The tokenization of everything else, (…), is in the quadrillions. You know, especially as AI moves towards micro payments, which need to happen on the blockchain. That to me is a bigger opportunity, and (…) Ethereum is where a lot of this is going to be built. (…) So to me, there’s still an exponential opportunity in owning ETH over Bitcoin,” Lee concluded. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

An analyst has pointed out how Dogecoin could see a strong surge if the support level of this technical analysis (TA) pattern holds. Dogecoin Is Retesting The Support Line Of An Ascending Channel In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a pattern forming in Dogecoin’s 12-hour price chart. The pattern in question is an Ascending Channel from TA, a type of Parallel Channel. Related Reading: Newbie Bitcoin Whales Now Control 44% Of Realized Cap, Highest Ever Parallel Channels form whenever an asset’s price observes consolidation between two parallel trendlines. The upper line of the pattern provides resistance, while the lower one acts as support. When these trendlines are sloped upward, the Parallel Channel is known as an Ascending Channel. As the asset moves through this channel, its price observes some net growth. Either trendline not holding up can naturally result in a breakout in that direction. This means that a surge above the channel can be a bullish signal, while a drop under it a bearish one. Like the Ascending Channel, there is also a Parallel Channel known as the Descending Channel, emerging when the price witnesses net consolidation to a downside. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Ascending Channel that the 12-hour price of Dogecoin has been moving inside for the past few months: As displayed in the above graph, Dogecoin retested the upper level of the Ascending Channel in September and it ended up finding rejection. Since then, the memecoin has plummeted back toward the lower level situated around $0.19. “$0.19 is mission-critical for DOGE,” noted the analyst. As mentioned before, breakdown of an Ascending Channel support level can signal a bearish continuation. In the event that the support level does end up holding, Dogecoin could see a rebound. Martinez has said that the next stop for the memecoin in this scenario could be $0.33, corresponding to the resistance level of the Ascending Channel. It now remains to be seen how the DOGE price will develop in the coming days. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retests STH Cost Basis Again: Is This Where Support Flips? Earlier, the analyst also shared a chart for another altcoin trading inside a Parallel Channel: XRP. In this case, the 12-hour price of the cryptocurrency is following a Parallel Channel with trendlines parallel to the time-axis. From the graph, it’s visible that XRP has been plunging inside the channel recently and could be heading toward a retest of the lower level, which is situated at $2. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is floating around $0.187, down 24% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com
