Benchmark reiterated its bullish outlook on Securitize in its latest research report, giving it a target price of $16 post-IPO (stock code SECZ), believing it is poised to significantly benefit from the wave of tokenized assets.Analysis indicates that the total market capitalization of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange is approximately $44 trillion. If Securitize captures just 1 basis point (0.01%) of that market, its platform asset size could double from the current approximately $4 billion. Benchmark emphasizes that Securitize is not only a tokenization platform but also possesses a "complete regulatory qualification system" that includes broker-dealer, transfer agent, and trading functions, which is expected to generate diversified income throughout the entire lifecycle of asset issuance, secondary trading, and custody services. Additionally, the company has been designated as the digital transfer agent for the tokenized securities platform that the New York Stock Exchange plans to launch, which supports 24/7 trading. Meanwhile, its tokenized U.S. Treasury fund BUIDL, in collaboration with BlackRock, has approached $3 billion, indicating rapid growth in the institutional-level RWA market. However, Benchmark also cautions that factors such as regulatory uncertainty, fragmented liquidity, and technological risks may still exert pressure on its valuation.

Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated on the X platform that despite the overall market still exhibiting strong skepticism, more and more signs indicate that the current market "has found its bottom." In a highly uncertain environment, investors can focus on assets that have performed well since the Iran conflict, with Ethereum-related assets leading the way, followed by Bitcoin-related assets.Specifically, Tom Lee lists Ethereum and related assets (such as ETHA, BMNR) as his top choices, while also being optimistic about Bitcoin and its ETFs (such as IBIT). He previously emphasized that Ethereum has shown relative strength during geopolitical conflicts, becoming a "barometer" of market resilience.Overall, Tom Lee believes that cryptocurrencies have proven to be a "store of value in wartime," and the market has gradually digested negative factors, providing a basis for further rebounds in risk assets, but this still depends on the continued stability of macro and geopolitical situations.

She added, "The Federal Reserve has room to be patient, and there are ample reasons to do so. Today's data buys time for the Federal Reserve, but the real test lies ahead."
