Systemic Risk Monitoring

Definition

Systemic risk monitoring involves continuously observing financial systems to identify and assess potential threats that could cause widespread instability. In the digital asset sector, this includes evaluating the interconnectedness of various cryptocurrencies, platforms, and protocols, looking for vulnerabilities that could trigger a cascading failure. Regulators and financial institutions analyze factors such as liquidity concentrations, leverage levels, stablecoin stability, and the impact of major market events. The objective is to detect and mitigate risks that extend beyond individual entities, potentially affecting the broader financial system.
