The market thinks investors picked a winner: AI up, crypto down.
Tom Lee (
@fundstrat) does not buy it. AI is taking marginal dollars because its growth story is more legible in a single quarter. That is price action, not a thesis change.
His framing: crypto is downstream of AI, not competing with it. Wall Street will rebuild its outdated tech stack on blockchain rails, and AI agents will need decentralized rails for identity and wealth.
"That story hasn't changed."
