[Gate Ventures: Market Undervaluation Persists, Ethereum L1 Scaling and Institutional DeFi Momentum Strengthen] Odaily Planet Daily News – According to the latest crypto weekly report released by Gate Ventures, directly applying traditional short-term valuation models (such as short-term price-to-earnings and revenue models) to blockchain networks leads to systemic pricing errors. Due to the exponential characteristics of adoption curves in the crypto industry, the long-term growth potential of assets like ETH and SOL remains significantly undervalued. Market sentiment and linear thinking obscure their true growth potential. Currently, overall market sentiment remains fragile. Last week, BTC rose by 4.07%, ETH increased by 6.82%, and the Fear and Greed Index remains in the 'Extreme Fear' range. In terms of ecosystem developments, Ethereum has raised the block gas limit to 60 million in preparation for the Fusaka upgrade. This increase marks the largest execution layer scaling for Ethereum in nearly four years. Paxos acquired Fordefi for over $100 million to enhance its institutional custody services. Meanwhile, DWF Labs launched a $75 million fund focused on building institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure. Regarding fundraising, the total disclosed funding last week amounted to $164 million, an 88% week-over-week decline due to market tightening. Infrastructure projects accounted for 62% of all funding, while DeFi recorded the highest funding scale.
