Digital asset loss refers to the irreversible forfeiture of ownership or control over digital assets. This can occur through various mechanisms, including theft, technical failures, or user error. The unique nature of digital assets means that such losses are often permanent due to the immutability of underlying ledger technology. Understanding the pathways to such loss is critical for risk management.
