Emergency Redemption

Definition

Emergency redemption is a provision allowing investors to withdraw funds from an investment vehicle under extraordinary circumstances. In the context of digital asset funds or stablecoin protocols, this mechanism permits the rapid conversion of digital holdings back into fiat currency or other underlying assets, often triggered by severe market instability, liquidity crises, or protocol vulnerabilities. It serves as a safety valve designed to protect investor capital during periods of extreme duress. Such redemptions are typically governed by predefined rules to prevent systemic shocks.
