Genuine Demand Signal

Definition

A genuine demand signal indicates authentic and sustainable interest in a digital asset or blockchain service, driven by utility rather than speculation. This signal is characterized by consistent, organic usage, such as increasing transaction counts, active addresses, and protocol revenue, rather than solely price-driven trading volume. It reflects real-world adoption and the fulfillment of a functional need within the ecosystem. Identifying genuine demand helps distinguish projects with long-term viability from those reliant on transient market hype.
