Key Points
- Ethereum valuation metric MVRV is heating up, but on-chain activity levels suggest it may not be overvalued.
- ETH is now trading near $3,600 with predictions seeing ETH at $10,000 by the end of 2024.
According to the latest reports coming from CryptoQuant CEO, Ki Young Ju, an important metric used to determine whether Ethereum is overvalued or not, has been heating up compared to Bitcoin.
In a post on X, Ki Young Ju, noted that Ethereum’s Market Value Realized Value (MVRV) is rising faster compared to Bitcoin MVRV, and this suggests that the ETH market is heating up relative to its on-chain fundamentals.
He noted that given the current ETF situation, this might be an ETH-only season, and historically when ETH surges, other alts tend to follow suit as well.
He said that the indicator identifies trends by calculating the 180-day moving average of the MVRV difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin over time.
The MVRV metric shows when an asset is trading above or below its fair price which is mainly the difference between the price that users paid for it and the current market price.
Santiment data reveals that in comparison to Bitcoin over the past 30 days, Ethereum’s MVRV has jumped almost 30% to reach over 91% and Bitcoin’s MVRV has gone the opposite way, dropping 10.8% to reach over 127% over the same period of time.
A high MVRV suggests that the market value of ETH is higher than its realized value and this could suggest that the ETH market is overvalued, which could trigger a potential sell-off in the future.
On the other hand, Ju suggested that with ETH ETFs going live soon, the high MVRV is unlikely to scare away investors.
According to the latest reports, ETH ETFs could go live before July 4.
