Blockchain technology has evolved from early roots in a single blockchain network and cryptocurrency to a diverse, ever-expanding digital assets universe. The technology gave rise to dozens of major blockchains now driving the industry (nearly 1,000 more exist), over 13,000 tokens with diverse utilities and functions, decentralized finance (DeFi), more than 4,000 decentralized applications (dApps), the exploration of Web3 and burgeoning metaverses. As more people broaden their understanding of distinct ecosystem components, there will be a clearer delineation between assets that exist purely as a medium of exchange (e.g., Bitcoin) and those that aim to leverage blockchain as a technology for real-world use cases (e.g., infrastructure, smart contracts and tokenized physical assets).
