Fading Risk Appetite

Definition

Fading Risk Appetite describes a market condition where investors become less willing to take on speculative or volatile assets, preferring instead to allocate capital to safer, less risky investments. This shift often occurs during periods of economic uncertainty, regulatory concerns, or broader market downturns. In the context of digital assets, it typically leads to reduced investment in altcoins and a flight towards more established cryptocurrencies or stablecoins. It reflects a general decrease in investor confidence.
