The CEO of the on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant explained that Bitcoin’s price isn’t currently overvalued based on its network fundamentals. Bitcoin Price May Not Be Overvalued Yet Based On Thermo Cap Ratio In a new post on X, CryptoQuant CEO and founder Ki Young Ju has discussed about how the recent trend in the Bitcoin Thermo Cap Ratio has been like. The “Thermo Cap” is a capitalization model for BTC that calculates the total value of the asset by taking each token’s value as the same as the spot price when it was mined on the network. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Bitcoin Will Rise To $79,600 If This Holds Put another way, this model calculates the cumulative value of the coins mined by the miners since the inception of the blockchain. This is quite different from what, for example, the usual market cap does. In the market cap’s case, the current spot price is taken as the value of all coins in circulation. As the coins that miners mine are the only way to increase the cryptocurrency’s supply, the Thermo Cap may be considered a measure of the “true” capital inflows coming into the network. Here is a chart that displays how the Bitcoin Thermo Cap has changed over its history: As the above graph shows, the Thermo Cap has seen an accelerating growth curve. This naturally reflects the increasing amount of capital flowing into the asset over the years. In the context of the current topic, though, the indicator of interest isn’t the Thermo Cap itself but rather the Thermo Cap Ratio. This metric tracks the ratio between the Bitcoin market cap and the Thermo Cap. The chart below shows the trend in the Thermo Cap Ratio over the asset’s history. An interesting pattern is visible in the graph. It appears that very high values of the Thermo Cap Ratio have coincided with highs in the cryptocurrency’s price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Has Solid On-Chain Cushion Below $68,900: Stage Set For Fresh Rally? At high values, the Bitcoin market cap is quite large compared to the Thermo Cap, meaning that coins are trading at a much higher rate than they were mined at. It’s also apparent that bottoms in BTC occur when the ratio assumes low values. The recent trend in the indicator has been that of a rise, but its value has not touched the levels where bull run tops would have happened in the past. “Bitcoin is not currently overvalued based on network fundamentals,” notes the CryptoQuant founder. BTC Price Bitcoin has been unable to break out of its range recently as its price has kept up the trend of sideways movement. At present, BTC is trading at around $68,900.

Venture capitalist and billionaire investor, Chamath Palihapitiya has predicted that Bitcoin could witness an unprecedented price increase to $500,000. This ambitious forecast hinges on the potential for a bull run following Bitcoin’s fourth halving cycle, which occurred on April 20 2024. Bitcoin To Surge To $500,000 Palihapitiya has entered a notable discussion regarding the impact of historical halving cycles on Bitcoin’s value. The billionaire investor shared a price analysis illustrating Bitcoin’s performance and trend patterns following each halving event. Related Reading: XRP Hasn’t Had A Bull Cycle Since 2017, Analyst Reveals What Will Happen When It Does According to Palihapitiya, historically, Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs after each halving cycle. He highlighted a correlation between Bitcoin’s halving events from 2012 to 2024, detailing the cryptocurrency’s price actions one month, three months, six months, nine months, 12 months and 18 months post-halving.   Palihapitiya noted that during the first three months after a Bitcoin halving event, investors are usually still reassessing the event and its impact on the crypto market. However, he revealed that from 6 to 18 months post-halving, Bitcoin witnessed an exponential price appreciation, pushing it to new all-time highs.  “Bitcoin price has increased materially following each halving, with the bulk of the returns realized between 12 months and 18 months after the halving event,” Palihapitiya wrote.  He disclosed that 18 months after Bitcoin’s first halving cycle, the cryptocurrency’s price increased by 45X. Following the second halving cycle, Bitcoin rose almost 28X, and after the third halving, it surged nearly 8X. Based on these halving patterns, Palihapitiya has projected Bitcoin’s future value to reach $500,000 by October 2025, expecting it to follow a similar trend as its previous halving cycles.  BTC Could Replace Gold In his discussion, Palihapitiya disclosed that by analyzing the average patterns of Bitcoin’s previous halving cycles, the cryptocurrency could potentially surge to a peak of $1.4 million. He declared that Bitcoin could completely replace gold if it reaches such levels of appreciation, emphasizing its potential to become a digital currency with transactional utility for hard assets.  Based on the averages of the second and third halving cycles, the billionaire investor projects Bitcoin’s price to rise to $99,643 six months after its halving event in April, reaching $238,623 in nine months, $362,997 in 12 months and nearly $500,000 in 18 months.  Palihapitiya also disclosed several factors that could contribute to Bitcoin’s rise to $500,000. He stated that the increasing demand for Spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) could have a significant impact on the value of Bitcoin in 2024.  Related Reading: Chainlink Is Not Done: Analyst Predicts 300% Rise Against Bitcoin This prediction may hold weight considering Bitcoin saw a consistent price increase at the beginning of the year after the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
