Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum treasury company Bitmine, said on X that traditional finance and crypto finance are unlikely to remain separate over the long run and will gradually merge into what he described as “the same market.” The update points to the continued buildout of blockchain infrastructure, the rise of tokenized assets, and the spread of digital financial tools as forces weakening the line between traditional and crypto-native assets. It also notes that asset tokenization, on-chain settlement, and the steady entry of institutional investors into crypto could push the broader financial system toward a more open and more digital structure. The remarks reflect a view that the distinction between TradFi and crypto is narrowing as more financial activity moves onto blockchain-based rails.

Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum treasury company Bitmine, said on X that traditional finance, or TradFi, and crypto finance will no longer remain two separate fields and will gradually merge into “the same market.”

The update said the boundary between traditional assets and crypto assets is continuing to weaken as blockchain infrastructure, tokenized assets, and digital financial tools develop.

It added that asset tokenization, on-chain settlement, and the continued entry of institutional investors into crypto could move the financial system toward a more open and more digital direction.
