Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO of crypto asset management company Hashed, has developed a comprehensive valuation tool for Ethereum. Called “ETHval,” the model aims to offer investors a broader perspective by calculating Ethereum’s “fair value” using 12 different methodologies. According to the developed model, Ethereum’s current price is $2,291.5, while the “composite fair value,” calculated from the combination of 12 models, is $4,222. This suggests that the asset may be approximately 84% “undervalued.” Related News XRP’s Sharpe Ratio Has Risen Significantly: What Does This Mean? ETHval brings together 12 different valuation approaches grouped under four main categories. Traditional finance models evaluate…

Yield-bearing stablecoins are growing faster than the broader stablecoin market, according to Messari, as Washington remains divided over how crypto-linked yield should be treated under US law.

The increase was driven by a 198% rise in the market cap of Circle’s USYC (USYC), a 169% increase in Paxos’ Global Dollar (USDG), a 114% rise in the value of the Tron DAO-linked Decentralized USD (USDD), and a 91% rise in Ondo Finance’s Ondo US Dollar…

The old “token playbook” is over, according to 21Shares researcher Darius Moukhtarzade, who said that launching at high FDV, low float with a governance “meme coin” does not work anymore. Moukhtarzade explained that there is a widening “sentiment-fundamentals gap” as the core reason behind failing token launches. On one hand, fundamentals remain strong, amid a growing global user base, improving regulatory clarity, rising institutional participation, and scalable infrastructure supporting long-term adoption. On the other hand, market sentiment is deeply negative. This is evidenced in extreme fear levels, repeated failures of recent token generation events (TGEs), and capital dilution caused by…

Bitcoin is moving inside a tight short term range while a broader chart suggests the market is still cooling from earlier excess. One chart shows whales defending key levels on both sides. Meanwhile, another places $BTC back near its long term fair value zone. Together, they point to a market that has lost momentum but has not chosen its next direction yet. In the near term, traders are watching whether Bitcoin can break through heavy sell walls above or lose bid support below. At the same time, the longer term regression model suggests the recent correction has eased some of…
