Digital businesses can have real economic value even when their assets are software, domains, websites, communities or data. A buyer therefore needs more than a URL: they need evidence of what is being acquired and how ownership can be transferred.
Traditional databases can record ownership, but blockchain can add a portable and independently verifiable transaction history. This is especially useful when multiple parties need confidence that a settlement actually occurred.
The practical value is not that every piece of business data must be placed on-chain. Instead, the blockchain can act as a trust and settlement layer while detailed business evidence remains in appropriate off-chain systems.
This separation between evidence, intelligence and settlement is important for a future digital asset economy.
