IBIT looks bad, but ETH looks great (if you ask Tom Lee).

Happy Friday!
BlackRockās Bitcoin ETF IBIT is facing record outflows for the past five weeks and has shedded $2.7 billion ā whatās going on?
Tom Lee just wonāt back down: he is back with another ultra-bullish price prediction for Ethereum.
Plus, Cyber Week pricing disappears soon, and once itās gone, so is the 60% savings.
TOP STORY

Peter Schiff is famously critical of Bitcoin, yet he is āso closeā to getting it, says Binanceās Changpeng Zhao. But why is he so stubborn?
FINTECH FOCUS
Fundstratās Tom Lee on Thursday said Ethereum is āgrossly undervaluedā relative to Bitcoin, arguing that current valuations ignore long-term adoption trends and structural tailwinds in digital finance.
Speaking at Binance Blockchain Week, Lee said Bitcoin could hit $250,000 within a few months.
He added that if Ethereumās ETH/BTC ratio goes back to its long-term average of 0.0479, ETH would be valued near $12,000.
Lee called this a āhuge move,ā noting that the ratio has held over an extended period.
He added that if Bitcoin reached $250,000 and Ethereum matched its 2021 cycle high ratio of 0.0873, the implied ETH price would be $22,000
