According to Michael Lau (@mikelaujr), a recent Twitter post spotlighted Anthony Di Iorio, cofounder of Ethereum and CEO of Decentral Inc., Brandon Lutnick, chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald, Anthony Scaramucci, founder of Skybridge Capital, and Tom Lee, cofounder of Fundstrat, as key industry leaders to watch in 2025. Their involvement signals continued institutional interest and potential strategic moves in the cryptocurrency market, which could influence Ethereum, Bitcoin, and altcoin trading activity as institutional adoption grows and new products are developed (Source: @mikelaujr, Twitter, May 12, 2025).

According to Eric Balchunas, Dan Ives is planning to launch an ETF, entering a competitive market space. Tom Lee's ETF, $GRNY, has remarkably reached nearly $1 billion in assets within just three months of trading. However, Balchunas notes that this rapid asset accumulation is exceptional, as most ETFs struggle to gather assets quickly despite strong branding.
