Tom Lee predicts U.S. stocks will rise in 2025 and crypto will rally by year-end after a sharp deleveraging. He believes the S&P 500 could reach over 7,000 with potential gains of up to 10%, citing Fed cuts and investor skepticism as driving factors. Bitcoin’s resilience during recent market turmoil showcases its value as a store of value.

Lee highlights the improving setup for crypto into year-end, noting record lows in open interest for bitcoin and ether, along with positive technicals. He emphasizes the importance of a supportive headline from traditional finance, such as JPMorgan considering the use of crypto as collateral. Lee sees bullish signals for both crypto and equities, with crypto often indicating the direction of broader liquidity.

On a fundamental level, Lee mentions increasing Ethereum activity driven by stablecoins and expects a significant move for ETH and BTC by year-end. U.S. stocks saw gains on Friday, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow all closing higher. Bitcoin and ether prices remained relatively stable, with bitcoin at $111,776 and ether at $3,952 as of Saturday.
