Supply Constraint

Definition

A supply constraint refers to a limitation or restriction on the availability of a particular asset or resource within a market. In the context of digital assets, this can stem from a fixed total supply, a scheduled reduction in new issuance (like Bitcoin halvings), or a significant portion of the existing supply being locked away or held by long-term investors. Such constraints can contribute to price appreciation if demand remains constant or increases. It impacts market dynamics.
