    This isn't strictly true. The fundamental utility of crypto assets is to pay for transactions that execute on blockchains. Blockspace is a scarce resource, and running transactions on-chain requires bidding for inclusion in a fee market that's denominated in the native currency of the chain.

    This isn't just hypothetical. Currently, more than $2 million worth of Ethereum per day is being paid to the network as "gas" necessary for Ethereum transactions.[1] The blockspace demand comes from a variety of blockchain applications, such as NFT marketplaces, DeFi applications like Uniswap and AAVE, and stablecoin payments such as USDC[2]. (Not to mention simple peer-to-peer Ethereum transfers.)

    We can debate a long time about whether blockchain based applications are here to stay or just fads. But there is a compelling case that some users and use cases will value the decentralization, immutability, censorship resistance and credible neutrality that comes with on-chain applications. In that type of decentralized digital economy, native crypto is very useful in the same way that crude oil is very useful to the industrialized economy.
