Some critics argue that certain models, like the P/E ratio based on transaction fees, depend on assumptions that may not remain valid as the network evolves. Still, Kim’s initiative signals a broader movement toward applying traditional financial analysis to the crypto sector, a development that could strengthen market credibility and attract more long-term investment.
