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.”
ETHval brings together 12 different valuation approaches grouped under four main categories. Traditional finance models evaluate staking DCF, price-to-sales ratio (P/S), fee revenue, and validator economics; while the on-chain asset value category highlights TVL multiplier and implementation capital. Network impacts utilize metrics such as Metcalfe’s Law, the ETH monetary model, and ecosystem consensus volume; and supply scarcity is assessed by indicators like staking scarcity and liquidity premium.
Looking at the model details, metrics such as Metcalfe’s Law ($4,972), the staking-based DCF model ($6,873), and the validator economy ($5,476) reveal significant upside potential for Ethereum.
On the other hand, some traditional multiplier-based indicators paint a more cautious picture. P/S ratio and fee revenue models, at $16 and $25 respectively, suggest that Ethereum may be “overvalued” according to these metrics.
