PANews reported on November 13th that crypto analyst Route 2 FI posted that in November 2021, there were 477 projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, while now that number has dropped to 388 (including stablecoins). His analysis is as follows: 1. November 2021 was almost the peak of altcoins in the previous cycle, and altcoins haven't truly experienced a crazy surge in this cycle; 2. At that time, tokens with low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuations (FDV) were uncommon. If ranked by the number of projects with a fully diluted valuation exceeding $100 million, this number should be higher now than in 2021; 3. Liquidity and funds are increasingly concentrated in fewer, larger projects, meaning that even with an increase in total market capitalization, smaller altcoins will find it difficult to achieve high valuations; 4. After several rounds of hype, retail and institutional investors are more cautious, favoring tokens and ecosystems with practical value and proven track records, rather than speculative tokens. In addition, the analyst mentioned that there were 1,153 projects with a market value of over $10 million in 2021, while the number has now reached 1,227, and he originally thought the number would be higher.PANews reported on November 13th that crypto analyst Route 2 FI posted that in November 2021, there were 477 projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, while now that number has dropped to 388 (including stablecoins).

Bitcoin “Arguably Undervalued,” Says Analytics Firm: Here’s Why

On-chain analytics firm Santiment has explained how Bitcoin could currently be undervalued based on its 4-year correlation to Gold and S&P 500. Bitcoin Has Underperformed Against Gold & S&P 500 Recently In a new post on X, Santiment has discussed about BTC’s recent trend relative to Gold and S&P 500. Historically, the cryptocurrency has shown some degree of correlation to these assets, but the pattern has shifted lately. Related Reading: Bitcoin Spot Demand Growing For First Time Since Early October: CryptoQuant Head Any two given assets are said to be “correlated” when one of them reacts to movements in the other by showing volatility of its own. As the chart shared by Santiment shows, Bitcoin has diverged from the traditional assets during the last few months. From the graph, it’s visible that Bitcoin has overall gone down 15% since August 11th. In the same window, the S&P 500 and Gold are up 7% and 21%, respectively. Gold has been the clear winner, but the S&P 500 has also at least managed a profit. The same is clearly not true for the number one cryptocurrency, which has gone the opposite way. The different trajectories of the assets would imply that they are no longer correlated or only have a negative correlation. Based on the fact that Bitcoin has shown tight correlation to the two over the last four years, however, the analytics firm has said, “BTC is arguably being undervalued.” It now remains to be seen whether the cryptocurrency’s price will eventually close the gap to the others. In some other news, BTC is trading between two key on-chain price levels right now, as on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has pointed out in an X post. The levels in question are part of the Supply Quantiles Cost Basis Model, which maps out various Bitcoin price levels according to the percentage of the supply that will be in profit if BTC were to trade at them. Bitcoin broke above the 0.95 quantile during its rally to the new all-time high (ATH), meaning more than 95% of the supply entered into a state of unrealized gain. With the drawdown that the coin has faced since then, its price has slipped not just under this level, but also the 0.85 quantile, corresponding to supply profitability of 85%.

In the down direction, the 0.75 quantile is present as a cushion around $100,600. “These levels have historically acted as support and resistance, with a break of either likely to define the next directional trend,” explained Glassnode. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $105,000, up 2.5% over the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
