Tom Lee: Ethereum will not be eroded by L2 and is expected to become the most widely used settlement layer for finance and AI agents

Chairman of Bitmine, Tom Lee, posted on the X platform stating that Ethereum is expected to become the most widely used settlement layer for finance and AI agents, "ETH is the on-chain currency."

In addition, in the interview content he shared, Tom Lee also responded to the market's concern that Ethereum is being eroded by Layer 2. He expressed disagreement and pointed out that although Layer 2 networks have attracted tens of millions of real-world users into the on-chain ecosystem, the Ethereum mainnet is still further consolidating its position as the primary economic settlement center, with the Fast Confirmation mechanism able to reduce transfer friction by about 98%.
