Secondary market sales refer to the trading of digital assets between investors after their initial issuance. These transactions occur on various cryptocurrency exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms, providing liquidity and price discovery for tokens. Unlike primary offerings, secondary market sales typically involve existing assets changing hands among participants. This market activity is a key indicator of an asset’s ongoing demand and valuation.
