Systemic Risk Amplification

Definition

Systemic Risk Amplification describes a process where risks within one part of a financial system spread and intensify across other interconnected components, potentially leading to widespread instability. In the digital asset sector, this can occur through interconnected DeFi protocols, centralized platforms with significant market share, or cascading liquidations during market downturns. Understanding these connections is critical for maintaining financial stability. This phenomenon poses a threat to broader markets.
