According to CoinMeta, BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated during the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) that in this current bull market, crypto assets continuously purchased by digital asset treasury companies (DAT) may perform even better, as the DAT will continue to reduce the supply available in the market. Taking HYPE as an example, he mentioned that HYPE currently holds about 14% of the supply and is still purchasing, which could be one of the reasons for its strong performance recently. Lee predicts that the overall purchase volume of crypto assets will continue to increase significantly in the next 12–18 months.
