Market Utility Signal

Definition

A market utility signal is an indicator derived from on-chain data that reflects the practical use and functional demand for a digital asset. This signal goes beyond mere price action to assess how actively and effectively a cryptocurrency or blockchain network is being utilized for its intended purpose. Examples include transaction volume, active addresses, developer contributions, and the number of decentralized applications built on the platform. A strong market utility signal suggests genuine adoption and a solid foundation for long-term value.
