I’m not sure I understand the question… Do you think the market value of these coins is made up, and you can’t actually go onto an exchange and trade it for actual USD? Because of course you can.

how is $1.5 billion in worth calculated because no way bitcoin tokens are worth more than $20.

They’re worth what you can sell them for. The US dollars they’re priced in don’t exactly inspire confidence these days, either.

You wanted to know how it’s calculated.
That was the supposed amount of ETH that was stolen. 1 ETH is currently around $2800. The value it has is because people are buying ETH for that price. So you take $2800 and multiply it by 400000. Carry the 5, etc. That’s $1 120 000 000.
There was some other stuff stolen too I think. I haven’t really looked into it.

That someone can just make off with that amount of digital “currency” sure inspires trust in that system, so the $2800 price tag might be a bit optimistic.
