CRR Uses Mill’s Equation of Exchange to Forecast Cryptocurrency Future
It isn’t the first time the Crypto Research Report (CRR) would be publishing future prices for Bitcoin and other altcoins.
The crypto research firm’s June edition is its 10th publication in the series using Mill’s equation of exchange model.
It described the model as an absolute approach to valuing crypto assets, giving a target price that crypto-assets should be priced based on assumptions regarding changes in supply and demand.
“The absolute valuation approach is inspired by Mill’s equation of exchange, later formulated by Irving Fisher,” the CRR forecast says.
How CRR came up with Crypto Forecast
The firm stated that it uses the percentage of the total addressable market (TAM) to estimate a crypto asset’s implied future price, arriving at future price estimates for BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, and XLM.
What determines the volume of digital asset?
The volume of cryptocurrencies is dependent on the following:
- ICO funding,
- Medium of Exchange
- Store of value,
- Online transactions,
- Remittance,
- Offshore accounts,
- Reserve currency,
- Micropayments,
- Gaming,
- Crypto trading,
- STO funding
According to the report, the medium of exchange constitutes the largest use case for cryptocurrencies.
“We believe that bitcoin is still at the very start of its adoption curve. The price of $7,200 at the end of 2019 suggests that bitcoin has penetrated less than 0.44% of its total addressable markets. If this penetration manages to reach 10%, its on-discountedutility price should reach nearly $400,000.”
It further stated that on-chain velocity for most coins is decreasing, while off-chain velocity is increasing, currently at an all-time high.
More Speculative Transactions
CRR says that evidence has shown that the growth in speculative transactions on exchanges is faster than the growth in using cryptocurrencies to buy goods and services.
And it is worth noting that billionaires and investors around the world are not writing off cryptocurrency investing off. In January 2022, U.S investor Bill Miller disclosed that he’s pumped in 50 per cent of his wealth into BTC.
