Tom Lee Predicts $250,000 Bitcoin and Highlights Pepeto as Top Crypto Gem for 2026

Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, has made a name for himself by accurately predicting market trends. Recently, he revealed that Bitcoin could reach $200,000 to $250,000 by the end of this cycle, describing the current pullback as a 'mini winter' rather than a bear market.

Lee's advice is clear: accumulate now while prices are low, and take advantage of the expected price increase. This sentiment is echoed by JPMorgan and Grayscale, who predict institutional inflows will lead the next leg higher, with Bitcoin potentially hitting a new all-time high in the first half of the year.

However, Lee also warns that a 100x crypto gem doesn't come from blue chips, but rather from tokens with low entry prices, real products, and a listing catalyst. According to him, Pepeto fits this profile better than any other asset in 2026.
