Financial Agent Risk denotes the potential for adverse outcomes arising from the actions or inactions of intermediaries involved in managing or facilitating financial transactions within digital asset markets. This includes risks associated with centralized exchanges, custodians, or other service providers that hold user funds or execute trades on their behalf. Such risks can manifest as operational failures, security breaches, regulatory non-compliance, or even fraudulent activities. The reliance on these agents introduces counterparty risk, contrasting with the decentralized ethos of many blockchain systems.
