Market bridging Meaning

The process of connecting two different, isolated markets so that value and information can flow between them. This could be a "Cross-Chain Bridge" connecting Ethereum to Solana, or a "Fiat Gateway" connecting a traditional bank to a digital exchange.

Bridging is what creates a "Global Market." Without it, the price of an asset could be $100 on one chain and $110 on another, with no way for people to move the asset to "Arbitrage" the difference. Bridging "Equalizes" prices and allows for "Unified Liquidity." The challenge of bridging is Security.

Bridges are often the "weakest link" in the system and are frequent targets for hackers. If a bridge is exploited, the assets on the "destination" chain can become worthless because the "collateral" on the "source" chain has been stolen.

Building "Trustless" and "Decentralized" bridges is one of the most important technical hurdles for the industry.
