The digital asset economy encompasses all economic activities involving cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens, and other tokenized assets on distributed ledgers. It includes trading, lending, borrowing, and the creation of new digital goods and services. This emergent economic system operates on principles of decentralization, transparency, and programmable value. It represents a significant shift in how value is created, exchanged, and managed globally.
Context
The digital asset economy is currently experiencing rapid expansion and increasing institutional participation, alongside ongoing regulatory scrutiny. Key discussions center on its integration with traditional financial systems and the development of clear legal frameworks. Future developments include the maturation of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, the growth of the metaverse, and the further tokenization of real-world assets, expanding its scope and impact.
Capital inflows into DeFi infrastructure are intensifying, creating a structural two-speed economy where financialization outpaces retail user adoption.
