And if eth valuation should be higher, what are the reasons they would be higher then other altcoins with smart contracts?
I think the reason people think ETH should be valued more than this is from the fact that there's so much money locked in ETH ecosystem as TVL in a project that's big like AAVE and so on yet the project is underperforming compared to lesser TVL projects like SUI and some others.
Personally I also wonder why ETH is so undervalued like this, the past quarter has proven that ETH even having a hard time breaking through $4k and just go down afterward unlike BTC and some other cryptos.
maybe people just didn't judge an L1 worth from TVL anymore, or ETH's FDV might be considered too big in the eyes of the investor.
Underperforming in short term against SUI for sure, but ethereum has a long head start (~36 times marketcap of SUI), so imho it's not fair to compare them by that short term performance. Obviously eth moves slower as it needs more money to moved having less liquidity and all.
While SUI can be significantly moved by one whale if they want to market buy or sell it.
