Definition ∞ Market Supply quantifies the total amount of a particular digital asset or cryptocurrency that is available for trading or ownership at any given time. This metric is a fundamental determinant of asset valuation, interacting with demand to establish market prices. Understanding supply dynamics is essential for analyzing asset scarcity and potential price trajectories.
Context ∞ The concept of Market Supply is particularly pertinent in cryptocurrency due to fixed or algorithmically controlled issuance schedules of many digital assets, such as Bitcoin’s programmed scarcity. Current discussions often focus on circulating supply versus total supply, inflation rates, and the impact of token unlocks or burns on availability. Future market dynamics will be significantly shaped by the interplay of these supply-side controls and evolving demand.
