Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO of South Korea-based crypto investment company Hashed, shared the latest data from his valuation tool, which measures Ethereum’s fair value using multiple indicators. The tool consists of a combination of 12 separate models that calculate Ethereum’s intrinsic value using different methodologies.

This indicates that, according to the model, Ethereum is trading approximately 80% “undervalued” compared to its current price. Some models in the tool indicate that Ethereum is significantly undervalued. For example, the Metcalfe’s Law…
