Productive assets are digital assets that generate income or yield for their holders through mechanisms such as staking rewards, lending interest, or protocol fees. Unlike purely speculative assets, productive assets offer a tangible return on investment beyond simple price appreciation. Examples include tokens used in proof-of-stake networks or those deposited into decentralized finance lending protocols. They contribute to the economic activity of a blockchain ecosystem.
