Systemic De-Risking

Definition

Systemic de-risking refers to the process of reducing the overall risk exposure within an entire financial system or a significant sector, often through regulatory measures or market adjustments. This involves identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities that could lead to widespread instability or collapse. Policies might include stricter capital requirements, enhanced oversight, or limitations on interconnected financial activities. In digital assets, it aims to protect the broader financial system from potential contagion originating from crypto market volatility or failures.
