This can result from poor operational controls, inadequate security measures, or decisions that lead to significant financial loss for individuals or entities. It often stems from negligence or a lack of due diligence in safeguarding digital wealth.
Context ∞ Instances of asset mismanagement frequently surface in cryptocurrency news, often following security breaches or platform insolvencies.

Future regulatory efforts aim to impose stricter requirements for asset custodianship and reporting to mitigate these recurring risks.
