Schwab’s Report Highlights Three Layers of Cryptocurrency Value
- The report categorizes cryptocurrency into three layers: networks, infrastructure, and products.
- Most of the value in digital assets is still concentrated at the base layer, which includes networks like Bitcoin.
- Infrastructure, which supports transactions and operations, holds less value compared to the foundational network layer.
- Products built on top of these networks represent a smaller share of overall value in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Understanding the distribution of value across these three layers is crucial for investors and stakeholders in the cryptocurrency space. The emphasis on foundational networks suggests that they remain vital for future growth and stability.
With most value concentrated at the base layer, particularly in Bitcoin, stakeholders should consider where investments are directed within this layered structure. (Source)
