Price Elasticity of Demand

Price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of a token changes in response to a change in its price. In the context of crypto, this helps determine if a token's price is primarily driven by speculation or utility.

If demand is highly elastic, small price changes lead to large shifts in buying or selling behavior. If it is inelastic, demand remains relatively stable regardless of price.

Understanding this elasticity is key for protocols that rely on token usage for their economic model. It helps in predicting how the token will perform during different market cycles.

High elasticity is often associated with highly speculative assets, while lower elasticity may indicate strong, fundamental utility and a loyal user base.
