Volatility Cushioning

Definition

Volatility cushioning refers to strategies and mechanisms designed to mitigate the impact of sharp price fluctuations in financial assets. These approaches aim to reduce the degree of market instability and protect asset values from extreme swings. In digital asset markets, volatility cushioning can involve various techniques, such as algorithmic trading, collateralization, or the use of stablecoins to provide a more predictable value anchor. Such measures contribute to market stability and reduce risk for participants.
