Market News: SFO Targets $28M Crypto Scheme: Arrests Rock Industry

The post Market News: SFO Targets $28M Crypto Scheme: Arrests Rock Industry appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. UK Serious Fraud Office arrests two men in $28M Basis Markets crypto investigation. The initial large-scale fraud in cryptocurrency is an indicator of governmental regulation on online activities. On November 20, the UK Serious Fraud Office announced its investigation into Basis Markets. On X, two male suspects were arrested on suspicion of money laundering and fraud, according to @UKSFO. The SFO confirmed it is still carrying out searches of property in residential areas in London and Yorkshire. The scheme also brought in about 28 million dollars through two public fundraisers. The first fundraiser organised by Basis Markets took place in November 2021. Investors purchased non-fungible tokens in the project. In December 2021, a second fundraising round came.

The project evolved into a low-risk trade operation. Basis Markets purported to employ algorithmic trading. Buyers of NFTs received entry to profit-sharing groups. In June 2022, investors were informed that the project was no longer going to be implemented as planned. The organisers referred to the new US regulations. No refunds or explanations were made with the announcement. Most investors doubted that there were actual regulatory issues. Investigators carried out coordinated raids on November 20. The Metropolitan Police was in favour of the operation. West Yorkshire police were also involved in the searches. Real estate in Herne Hill and around Bradford was targeted. The two males caught were in their thirties and forties, respectively. The two are suspects of various fraud charges. There are also money laundering charges. The men were released on bail as investigations continued. Why This Case Is a Shift in History. It is the first significant…

Upbit to resume deposits on Dec 1 after recent hack

The post Upbit to resume deposits on Dec 1 after recent hack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Upbit will resume digital asset deposits and withdrawals on December 1 at 1:00 PM KST following a $37 million hack that targeted Solana-based assets. The South Korean exchange announced that all existing deposit addresses have been deleted, and users must issue new addresses before depositing funds. The security breach occurred on November 27, 2025, when hackers stole approximately 44.5 billion KRW ($30-36 million USD) from Upbit’s hot wallets. Unlike the 2019 attack which focused on Ethereum (ETH), the latest incident targeted Solana ecosystem tokens including Solana (SOL), USDC, and Bonk (BONK). North Korea’s Lazarus Group is suspected of planning the attack. New deposit addresses required for all users Upbit warned that using old deposit addresses could result in delays. “Due to security vulnerability improvements and wallet system maintenance, new deposit addresses for all digital assets are required,” the exchange stated in its announcement. The exchange instructed users to delete any existing Upbit deposit addresses registered in personal wallets or other exchanges to prevent future misuse. Deposits made during the suspension period will be shown sequentially once services resume. However, they mentioned that processing may take extra time. Withdrawals and deposits will resume in phases, starting with network digital assets that have completed wallet system inspections and confirmed security. Staking requests and NFT deposits supported by resumed networks will be processed after service stability is verified. Exchange covers all user losses from corporate reserves Upbit pledged 100% coverage of user losses from its corporate reserves. The exchange immediately halted all deposits and withdrawals upon detecting the unauthorized transfers on November 27. The company successfully worked with token foundations to freeze approximately $8.18 million worth of specific tokens like LAYER, making them worthless to attackers. The frozen assets represent roughly 22% of the total stolen amount. Users should note potential price differences…

Shibarium Sets 2026 for Native FHE Integration as Zama Partnership Moves Forward

The post Shibarium Sets 2026 for Native FHE Integration as Zama Partnership Moves Forward appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium is stepping into an entirely new phase of its roadmap. The Shibtoken team has now confirmed that Zama’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) will be natively integrated into the Layer-2 network in 2026. The move positions Shibarium as one of the first EVM-compatible ecosystems to adopt full-stack, on-chain privacy at the protocol level. This is not a minor update. FHE is one of the most advanced forms of cryptography in development today. It enables computations to run directly on encrypted data without exposing the underlying information. No decryption. No leakage. No workarounds. Just end-to-end encrypted execution. If delivered as planned, Shibarium becomes a privacy-first chain built for institutions, DeFi builders, and high-security applications, without sacrificing EVM access. The confirmation was shared by @Shibtoken, with rollout and technical details reinforced by @CryptoMiners_Co. A Major Milestone: Shibarium Commits to Native FHE For months, the community speculated whether Shibarium would adopt deeper encryption standards or stick to traditional EVM privacy layers. Today, the team made it official: Zama’s FHE becomes part of Shibarium’s core infrastructure. With this upgrade, Shibarium gains capabilities that most blockchains still consider experimental. #Shibarium Confirms Native FHE Integration in 2026 The @Shibtoken team has officially confirmed that @zama’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) will be natively integrated into #Shibarium, delivering institutional grade on chain privacy.

Based on 10 valuation methods, how much is ETH really worth?

Written by Eric, Foresight News What should be the reasonable price of ETH? The market has offered numerous valuation models for this issue. Unlike Bitcoin, which has already established itself as a major asset, Ethereum, as a smart contract platform, should have a reasonable and widely accepted valuation system. However, it seems that the Web3 industry has yet to reach a consensus on this matter. A recent website launched by Hashed presented 10 valuation models that are likely to be widely accepted by the market. Of these 10 models, 8 showed that Ethereum is undervalued, with a weighted average price exceeding $4,700. So how was this price, which is close to a historical high, calculated? From TVL to staking to income Hashed categorized the 10 models into three levels—low, medium, and high—based on their reliability. We'll start with the low-reliability valuation models. TVL multiplier This model posits that Ethereum's valuation should be a multiple of its DeFi TVL, simply linking market capitalization to TVL. Hashed used the average market capitalization to TVL ratio from 2020 to 2023 (my personal understanding is from the beginning of DeFi Summer until the nested structure was not yet severe) of 7 times. By multiplying the current DeFi TVL on Ethereum by 7 and then dividing by the supply, i.e., TVL × 7 ÷ Supply, the resulting price is $4128.9, representing a 36.5% upside from the current price. This crude calculation method, which only considers DeFi TVL and cannot accurately derive the actual TVL due to its complex nested structure, certainly deserves its low reliability. Scarcity premium resulting from pledging The model takes into account that Ethereum that cannot circulate in the market due to staking will increase Ethereum's "scarcity". Multiplying the current price of Ethereum by the square root of the ratio of total supply to circulating supply, i.e., Price × √(Supply ÷ Liquid), the resulting price is 3528.2, which is 16.6% upside from the current price. This model was developed by Hashed itself, and the square root calculation is intended to mitigate extreme cases. However, according to this algorithm, ETH is always undervalued, not to mention the rationality of simply considering the "scarcity" brought about by staking and the additional liquidity of staked Ethereum released by LST, which is also very crude. Mainnet + L2 TVL multiplier Similar to the first valuation model, this model adds the TVL of all L2 and gives it a 2x weighting because of the L2's consumption of Ethereum. The calculation method is (TVL + L2_TVL×2) × 6 ÷ Supply, which gives a price of 4732.5, representing a 56.6% upside from the current price. As for the number 6, although it's not specified, it's likely a multiplier derived from historical data. While L2 is included, this valuation method still simply references TVL data and isn't significantly better than the first method. "Commitment" Premium This approach is similar to the second model, except it adds Ethereum locked in DeFi protocols. The multiplier in this model is calculated by dividing the total amount of ETH staked and locked in DeFi protocols by the total ETH supply. This multiplier represents a percentage premium resulting from a "long-term holding belief and lower liquidity supply." Adding this percentage to 1 and multiplying it by the "committed" asset's value premium index of 1.5 relative to liquid assets yields a reasonable ETH price under this model. The formula is: Price × [1 + (Staked + DeFi) ÷ Supply] × Multiplier, resulting in a price of $5097.8, representing a 69.1% upside from the current price. Hashed stated that the model was inspired by the concept that L1 tokens should be considered as currency rather than stocks, but it still falls into the problem of the fair price always being higher than the current price. The biggest problem with the four unreliable valuation methods mentioned above is the lack of rationality in considering a single dimension. For example, a higher TVL (Total Value Limit) is not necessarily better; providing better liquidity with a lower TVL is actually an improvement. As for treating Ethereum, which does not participate in circulation, as a form of scarcity or loyalty that generates a premium, this seems unable to explain how to value it once the price actually reaches the expected price. Having discussed four low-reliability valuation schemes, let's now look at five medium-reliability schemes. Market capitalization/TVL fair value This model is essentially a mean reversion model. The calculation method assumes that the historical average value of the market capitalization to TVL ratio is 6 times. If it exceeds 6 times, it is considered overvalued, and if it is not 6 times, it is considered undervalued. The formula is Price × (6 ÷ Current Ratio), which gives a price of $3,541.1, representing a 17.3% upside potential from the current price. This calculation method, which superficially references TVL data, actually takes into account historical patterns and uses a more conservative valuation approach, which does seem more reasonable than simply referencing TVL. Metcalfe's Law Metcalfe's Law is a law concerning the value of networks and the development of network technology. Proposed by George Gilder in 1993, it is named after Robert Metcalfe, a pioneer in computer networking and founder of 3Com, in recognition of his contributions to Ethernet. It states that the value of a network is equal to the square of the number of nodes within it, and that the value of the network is directly proportional to the square of the number of connected users. Hashed stated that the model has been empirically validated by academic researchers (Alabi 2017, Peterson 2018) on Bitcoin and Ethereum. TVL is used as a proxy metric for network activity. The calculation formula is 2 × (TVL/1B)^1.5 × 1B ÷ Supply, yielding a price of $9957.6, representing a 231.6% upside from the current price. This is a relatively professional model, and it has also been marked by Hashed as an academically validated model with strong historical relevance. However, it is somewhat biased to consider TVL as the sole factor. Discounted Cash Flow Method This valuation model is currently the most effective way to value Ethereum as a company, treating Ethereum's staking rewards as revenue and calculating its current value using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Hashed's calculation is Price × (1 + APR) ÷ (0.10 - 0.03), where 10% is the discount rate and 3% is the perpetual growth rate. This formula is clearly flawed; the actual result should be Price × APR × (1/1.07 + 1/1.07^2 + ... + 1/1.07^n) as n approaches infinity. Even using the formula provided by Hashed, this result cannot be calculated. If calculated with an annualized interest rate of 2.6%, the actual reasonable price should be around 37% of the current price. Valuation by price-to-sales ratio In Ethereum, the price-to-sales ratio (P/S ratio) refers to the ratio of market capitalization to annual transaction fee revenue. Since transaction fees ultimately go to validators, there is no price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) for the network. Token Terminal uses this method for valuation, with 25 times earnings representing a growth-oriented tech stock valuation level, which Hashed calls the "industry standard for L1 protocol valuation." The model's calculation formula is Annual_Fees × 25 ÷ Supply, resulting in a price of $1285.7, representing a 57.5% downside from the current price. The two examples above show that Ethereum's price is severely overvalued using traditional valuation methods. However, Ethereum is clearly not an application, and in my opinion, this valuation method is flawed even in its underlying logic. On-chain total asset valuation This valuation model, while seemingly illogical at first glance, makes some sense upon closer examination. Its core argument is that for Ethereum to ensure network security, its market capitalization should match the value of all assets settled on it. Therefore, the calculation is simple: divide the total value of all assets on Ethereum, including stablecoins, ERC-20 tokens, NFTs, etc., by Ethereum's total supply. The result is $4923.5, representing a 62.9% upside from the current price. This is the simplest valuation model to date, but its core assumptions give the impression that something is wrong, though it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's wrong. Income bond model The only highly reliable valuation model among all available, which Hashed claims is favored by TradeFi analysts who assess cryptocurrencies as an alternative asset class, is one that values Ethereum as a yield bond. The calculation method divides Ethereum's annual revenue by its staking yield to calculate its total market capitalization, using the formula Annual_Revenue ÷ APR ÷ Supply. This yields a value of $1941.5, representing a 36.7% downside from the current price. The only instance, perhaps due to its widespread adoption in the financial sector and its perceived high reliability, is that Ethereum's price has been "undervalued" using traditional valuation methods. Therefore, this could be strong evidence that Ethereum is not a security. Valuing a public blockchain may require considering a variety of factors. The valuation system for public blockchain tokens may need to consider many factors. Hashed calculated a weighted average of the above 10 methods based on reliability, and the result was about $4,766. However, given that the calculation of the discounted cash flow method may be incorrect, the actual result may be slightly lower than this figure. If I were to value Ethereum, my core algorithm would likely focus on supply and demand. Since Ethereum is a "currency" with practical uses—whether paying gas fees, buying NFTs, or forming LPs—ETH is required. Therefore, it might be necessary to calculate a parameter based on network activity levels to measure the supply and demand of ETH over a period of time. This parameter would then be combined with the actual cost of executing transactions on Ethereum and compared to prices under similar historical parameters to arrive at a fair price. However, according to this method, if the growth in activity on Ethereum cannot keep up with the decline in costs, there is a reason why the price of ETH will not rise. In the past two years, the level of activity on Ethereum has actually been higher than that during the bull market in 2021 at some points, but due to the decline in costs, the demand for Ethereum is not high, resulting in an actual oversupply of Ethereum. However, the only thing that this valuation method, which compares with history, cannot take into account is Ethereum's potential. Perhaps at some point, when Ethereum experiences the same boom as when DeFi was emerging, we will need to factor in the "market-to-dream ratio".

Composite of ETH Valuation Models Places ETH Fair Value at $4,839: Analyst

The post Composite of ETH Valuation Models Places ETH Fair Value at $4,839: Analyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The native token of the Ethereum network, Ether (ETH), is undervalued in nine out of 12 commonly used valuation models, according to Ki Young Ju, a market analyst and CEO of crypto market analysis platform CryptoQuant. A composite “fair value” using all 12 valuation models prices ETH at about $4,836, an over 58% gain compared to its price at the time of this writing. Each valuation model was rated on a three-tiered scale for reliability, with three being the most reliable. Eight out of the 12 models feature a reliability rating of at least two. “These models were built by trusted experts across academia and traditional finance,” Ju said. 12 different ETH valuation models signal that ETH is undervalued at current market prices just north of $3,000. Source: ETHval The App Capital valuation model, which accounts for total on-chain assets, including stablecoins, ERC-20 tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), real-world tokenized assets (RWAs), and bridged assets, prices ETH at a fair value of $4,918, according to ETHval. Using Metcalfe’s Law, which states that the value of a network grows in proportion to the square of real active users or the number of nodes in the network, projects an ETH price of $9,484, meaning the asset is over 211% undervalued, according to the model. Valuing ETH through the Layer-2 (L2) framework, which accounts for the total value locked (TVL) in Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling network ecosystem, projects a price of $4,633 per ETH, meaning that ETH is about 52% undervalued. The composite fair value of ETH over one year.
