One idea often discussed in proof-of-stake networks like is that a larger market value can strengthen economic security:

Higher asset value can increase the cost of attacking the network

Strong ecosystem funding may support long-term research and infrastructure development

Areas such as scaling, cryptography, and Layer 2 expansion require sustained investment over time

At the same time, short-term whale movements and price volatility do not always reflect long-term network fundamentals. Large holders may rebalance positions for many reasons unrelated to broader adoption trends.

In blockchain ecosystems, market value is not only about speculation it can also influence security incentives, developer funding, and long-term network sustainability.
