An adoption curve illustrates the rate at which a new technology or product gains market acceptance over time. This curve typically shows an S-shape, reflecting initial slow uptake, followed by rapid growth, and then a stabilization phase as market saturation approaches. In digital assets, it charts the progression of user or institutional engagement with cryptocurrencies, blockchain platforms, or decentralized applications. Understanding its stages helps analyze market maturity and future growth prospects for various digital innovations.
