Risk Appetite Increase

Definition

A risk appetite increase refers to a market condition where investors become more willing to allocate capital to assets perceived as higher risk in pursuit of greater potential returns. This shift in sentiment often occurs during periods of economic optimism or when alternative low-risk investments yield minimal gains. In the digital asset market, an increased risk appetite typically translates to higher investment in volatile cryptocurrencies or emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. It signals a move away from conservative investment strategies.
