Definition ∞ Fundamental demand growth refers to an increase in the genuine, utility-driven usage and adoption of a digital asset or blockchain network. This growth is distinct from speculative interest and is driven by real-world applications, transaction utility, and the expansion of a network’s ecosystem. It is evidenced by metrics such as rising active addresses, increased transaction volume, and the proliferation of decentralized applications. Such growth indicates a healthy and sustainable expansion of the asset’s underlying value proposition.
Context ∞ Analysts closely monitor fundamental demand growth to assess the long-term viability and intrinsic value of digital assets, contrasting it with price movements driven solely by market sentiment. A consistent upward trend in these underlying metrics suggests that a network is gaining traction and finding a sustainable market fit. This type of growth is considered a stronger indicator of asset health than purely price-driven speculation.
