Market evolution Meaning

The long-term process of a market becoming more "Mature," "Efficient," and "Regulated." For digital assets, evolution has moved from a "Niche hobby" (2010) to a "Speculative retail market" (2017) to an "Institutional asset class" (2024+). This evolution involves the development of better "Infrastructure" (custody, ETFs), clearer "Regulations," and more sophisticated "Participants." As a market evolves, its "Volatility" typically decreases and its "Liquidity" increases, making it more predictable and accessible to traditional investors like pension funds.

A key part of evolution is the "Survival of the Fittest." Over time, "Scams" and "Weak Projects" are washed out, leaving behind a core group of protocols that provide real utility.

This cycle of "Boom, Bust, and Build" is how all financial markets-from the stock market to the internet-have reached maturity.
