Deep dives
Valuation in Crypto Markets
Valuation methods in the crypto space differ significantly from traditional finance due to the unique characteristics of digital assets. While traditional metrics like cash flow models may be expected, many crypto projects lack the predictability required for such analyses, as they operate more like early-stage ventures with high volatility. For example, investors analyze the potential growth and cash flow possibilities of tokens like Solana but cannot confidently predict cash flows over time due to market fluctuations. Therefore, there's an emphasis on market trends and investor sentiment, often leading to a belief that token prices are driven more by market flows rather than fundamentals.
