1. A method for monitoring a digital asset communicated over a network, comprising:
- passively inspecting packets communicated between a first party and a plurality of other parties, wherein the packets collectively include at least a portion of data associated with a digital asset;
identifying at least one aspect associated with the first party based on the inspected packets;
identifying at least one aspect associated with the digital asset based on the inspected packets; and
identifying at least one aspect associated with at least one of the plurality of other parties based on the inspected packets;
wherein the at least one aspect associated with the first party and the at least one aspect associated with the digital asset are identified for market analysis;
wherein the at least one aspect associated with the digital asset identifies the digital asset;
wherein the at least one aspect associated with the first party includes a time when the packets were communicated.
