Stablecoin Risk Assessment

Definition

Stablecoin risk assessment is the systematic evaluation of potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with stablecoins, digital assets designed to maintain a stable value. This assessment considers factors such as collateral quality, reserve openness, algorithmic stability mechanisms, and operational risks of the issuer. It aims to quantify the likelihood and impact of a stablecoin deviating from its peg or experiencing other financial distress. This process is crucial for investor safeguarding and systemic stability.
