Bitmine Chair Tom Lee: Crypto Market Weakness Tied to Four Factors, May Be Near Bottom

According to CoinPost, Bitmine chair Tom Lee said on July 13 at WebX 2026 that the crypto market weakness this year stems from four factors: a shift in U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy expectations from four rate cuts to two rate increases; uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Clarity Act; capital concentration in AI investments; and weakness in financial sector stock prices. However, Lee noted that most of the crypto market's downward momentum has faded and the market may currently be near its bottom.
