BlockBeats News, December 11 — Ethereum treasury company BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated in the latest podcast Altcoin Daily that the current price of Ethereum reflects not what happened today, but the future. So don’t expect it to rise every day; you need to bet on the "super cycle." Tom Lee believes that the biggest misconception is: even if you discount the future EQM to $5,000 or even $3,000, the end price of Ethereum ten years from now could still be $100,000. "This small difference today is just a tiny fluctuation in the discount rate." But everyone wants instant gratification — press the buy button and make money the next day; if it doesn’t rise, "this coin is a scam." They think they can press the button 1,000 times and win 1,005 times, but in reality, no one can do that.

Terra's LUNA token experienced a rare explosive surge this week, rising over 250% in the past ten days, clearly outperforming the overall cryptocurrency market. Key factors driving this rally include the implementation of network upgrades, the countdown to the legal trial of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon, and cyclical rebounds caused by technical structures. The rally was first triggered by the Terra v2.18 network upgrade on December 7. This update mainly improved node performance, fixed memory vulnerabilities, and addressed intermittent reliability issues that had plagued the network for months. As technical improvements boosted market sentiment, external events further intensified volatility. Do Kwon is scheduled to be sentenced on December 11, 2025, at the Manhattan Federal Court. He has previously admitted to fraud charges related to the 2022 TerraUSD collapse. The incident caused approximately $40 billion in market capitalization to evaporate. Prosecutors seek a 12-year prison sentence, while the defense advocates for a lighter sentence. This legal milestone has become a major focus for short-term traders. As the verdict approaches, market speculative sentiment has significantly heated up, causing LUNA trading volume and price to rise in tandem.
