Definition ∞ A supplementary asset supports the primary function or value of a main digital asset or protocol. These assets often provide utility, governance rights, or additional economic benefits within a blockchain ecosystem. Their value is typically derived from or contingent upon the success and utility of the primary asset or network they complement. Understanding these relationships is vital for evaluating the complete economic structure of a crypto project.
Context ∞ Discussion frequently centers on how ancillary assets are classified by regulators, particularly concerning whether they constitute securities or utility tokens. The market evaluates these assets based on their functional integration and contribution to the overall system’s viability, rather than standalone speculation. Future developments will likely involve clearer regulatory guidance impacting their issuance and trading.
