Definition ∞ An ancillary asset is a secondary item that supports the primary function or value of another asset. In digital finance, these are often tokens or digital rights that derive utility or value from a main cryptocurrency, platform, or project. They may provide governance rights, access to services, or proportional claims on revenue generated by the core system.
Context ∞ The current discourse regarding ancillary assets involves their regulatory classification and their role in expanding the utility of primary digital holdings. A key debate concerns whether these assets constitute securities, impacting how they are issued and traded. Future considerations involve standardizing their legal definitions and ensuring transparent valuation methods.
