Ethereum joins the $200 billion club — But is it worthy? By Cointelegraph

Ether (ETH) is up 150% in 2021, causing its market capitalization to soar above $200 billion. Most traders are fixated on the unitary price, even though it is entirely arbitrary, therefore missing relevant milestones and comparables.

Investors, mainly those coming from the traditional industry, are used to compare multiples of earnings, sales, and market share. Meanwhile, when valuing a cryptocurrency with multiple use cases, there is no single metric to gauge its potential. Ether might simultaneously act as a digital store of value while functioning as the token required to access the network.
