Risk-off trading describes a market sentiment where investors move capital away from higher-risk assets and into safer, more stable investments. In the digital asset market, this often means selling cryptocurrencies and acquiring fiat currencies, stablecoins, or traditional safe-haven assets. It typically occurs during periods of heightened economic uncertainty or market volatility. This behavior indicates investor apprehension.
