Ether at $250,000 would make Ethereum a $30 trillion network, larger than the U.S. Treasury market and comparable to all the gold ever mined. But that’s the target Bitmine chairman Tom Lee laid out at Proof of Talk in Paris this week, with the move pitched as a 50x from current levels on the back of AI-driven payments and a corporate validator takeover of the network. Let’s dive into the math of how that target may be reached, starting with supply. Ethereum’s circulating supply sits at 121.75 million $ETH and is growing at 0.82% a year, because since the Dencun…

The exchange plans to list Bitcoin Volatility futures to start trading on June 1, while a May 14 Commodity Futures Trading Commission product record lists the contract as Certified. That makes the launch a market-structure test: whether Bitcoin is ready for a regulated futures contract tied to expected turbulence…
