The debt ratio is a financial metric that compares a company’s total debt to its total assets. This ratio indicates the proportion of a company’s assets financed by debt, serving as a measure of its financial leverage and risk. A higher debt ratio suggests greater reliance on borrowed funds, potentially increasing financial vulnerability. In the digital asset space, this metric helps assess the financial health and solvency of companies operating within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Context

Debates arise concerning appropriate leverage levels given the volatility of digital assets and the potential for rapid market shifts. A high debt ratio can signal increased risk during periods of market downturns, affecting investor confidence and a company’s ability to secure further financing.
