CryptoQuant CEO says multiple models show Ethereum is undervalued

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju revealed that Ethereum is currently undervalued in 10 out of the 12 valuation models. The report revealed that most of the valuation models value ETH above $4,000.

The executive emphasized that trusted experts across academia and traditional finance came up with the valuation models.

The analyst cited data from ETHVal, a platform designed to track Ethereum’s intrinsic value using the 12 different valuation methodologies. According to the tracker, ETH’s composite fair value, as determined by the 12 models, is approximately $4,535.1. 

The figure represents a potential gain of 60% compared to its current trading price. The valuation models are ranked on a three-tier scale, with one being the least reliable and three being the most reliable.

The model proposed that the crypto asset is undervalued by more than 213% at a projected price of $9,534, according to an image shared by Ju.
