Mutual dependence describes a relationship where two or more entities within a system rely on each other for their functionality, security, or value. In the context of digital assets, this could involve different blockchain layers, protocols, or even market participants. The performance or stability of one component directly influences others. This interconnectedness is a key characteristic of complex decentralized ecosystems.
Context

A failure in one highly dependent component can have cascading effects throughout the broader system. News analyses often examine these relationships to assess market stability and potential vulnerabilities.
