System Risk

Definition

System risk, in the context of digital assets and blockchain networks, refers to the potential for an entire system or market to experience failure due to the collapse of one or more major components. This can arise from vulnerabilities in underlying protocols, interconnectedness of decentralized finance applications, or widespread market contagion. Mitigating system risk is crucial for maintaining the stability and reliability of the digital asset ecosystem. It represents a broader threat beyond individual failures.
