> **Video Content:** The video shows an on-stage interview at what appears to be an OKX-sponsored event, with a moderator in a beige polo holding a microphone and a tablet interviewing Tom Lee, who wears dark glasses and a navy blazer. Throughout the clip, the camera alternates between two-shots of both men and close-ups of Tom Lee as he speaks into the microphone, explaining his bullish thesis on Ethereum. On-screen text identifies the venue as "Paris | Louvre Palace | 2026," with the segment labeled "of Talk By XXventures" and a "NEW ERA FINANCE" banner visible at the bottom.

> "Tom Lee's three reasons to be bullish on Ethereum:

1. Neutrality and decentralization will become prized virtues when machine-to-machine commerce is everywhere.

2. Every financial service runs more efficiently onchain.

3. The Lindy effect.

[Spoken audio]: Ethereum needs to catch up on is it's going to be more of an institutional drifts driving the entire layer up or so? I think it's uh I think there's three legs to the ethereum story one is um I think it's In in the future people are going to really value neutrality and decentralization like they're That's going to be a virtue um Because they don't want a blockchain that has like seven nodes or it's only in one country or, you know, there's two people that two entities that own 30% of it, you know, because that's not a decentralized protocol. And especially, you know, it's going to be especially when machine to machine interacts everything people going to want us say in And in finality, and that's where blockchains are going to be important, because you don't want a company to actually control that. The second is tokenization, I mean, it's not even a question. Everything that happens today in the financial system can be done on the blockchain more efficiently. But all the customers are still on the traditional financial rails, right? So that's not going to happen overnight. But I think the third story that's really bullish for Ethereum is it's actually been around so long. And the Lindy effect is a good argument that it's really time for the industry to organize, to supplement what the foundation does. And I think it's really the only blockchain that actually is like that mature and it's, it's that collaborative to be able to do that like that. You know, that hasn't happened on Bitcoin, you know, and, um, and no other blockchain has been around 11 years beyond that. So"
