    It was truly a pleasure to listen to and ask questions at the Blockworks Roundtable on "Capital Efficiency & Risk Management in Digital Asset Markets" tonight. Always stimulating to be in conversations where the focus is on the fundamentals – something we at Defiria deeply believe in, yet often seems to be overshadowed in the broader narrative. It's encouraging to see the conversation shifting, albeit gradually, towards the critical importance of capital efficiency. Special thanks to Alonso de Gortari (Mysten Labs), Quinn Thompson (Lekker Capital), Gregg Bell (The HBAR Foundation) and Alan Mittleman (Secure Digital Markets) for their conversation! Discussions around the maturity of on-chain derivatives were particularly interesting. At Defiria, these are not just theoretical concepts; they're the core of our approach to navigating the complexities of both traditional and decentralized finance. The bull market of 2025 really presents novel opportunities, but as we all know, sustainable success hinges on a disciplined approach to risk and a relentless pursuit of growth and efficiency. Looking forward to continuing these vital conversations. #DeFi #TradFi #CapitalEfficiency #RiskManagement #DigitalAssets

    Value creation is my key objective as an entrepreneur. Value can, for example, be created through the mitigation of financial losses. Digital assets exhibit a special kind of volatility and a tendency to extreme events. As we lined out in a prior post, classical empirical methods fail to capture digital asset returns in a 99% confidence interval (that is not even assuming normality, as some models still do!). You can not properly design and build products on these assumptions. Defiria builds a product that allows you to do so by modelling and simulating financial risk in the digital asset space without the boundaries of normality or assuming a pre-defined strategy.

    What even is non-normality? In finance the concept of non-normality is often discussed but hardly ever understood. At Defiria it is our bread and butter, our guiding principle so to say. Normality refers to a process that produces outcomes, say returns of a financial asset, that follow the normal or Gaussian distribution. This distribution has some very nice properties when it comes to its mathematics, but models relying on it break down eventually, often dramatically so, when it doesn’t fit real life. But how does non-normality look like, and how would you spot it? When looking at the returns of most (dare we say all) crypto currencies and DeFi protocols and compare them to a normal distribution, it becomes evident that there is a mismatch. What we see is that markets produce outcomes that have more events in the center of the distribution (what we would refer to as noise), but more importantly, many orders of magnitude more frequent events in the far reaches of the distribution. It is these extreme events and their impact on investors, that are of greatest importance, and what we focus on at Defiria. We have come up with a little app (linked below) that lets you play around with different time periods of returns (from a day to a trading year), to get a feel for how far from normality things can be in crypto and DeFi. Feel free to play around with it and share your experiences and insights! We are always excited to discuss anything around DeFi and risk. https://lnkd.in/e4h5epti This is the start of a little series we are doing on risk in DeFi, how it affects investors’ decision making process and how to deal with it, so stay tuned 😉 Defiria Marcel Kaiser

    What you see, isn’t all there is. We just measured that extreme events occur so frequently and violently in BTC and digital assets that conventional risk management will bankrupt you in the long run. Extreme risks are the ones that matter most. Because of this, we have integrated a new tool set into our product that captures these like nothing else. Tail risks are not captured well by traditional backwards-oriented methods. Thinking in line with this post’s motto: instead of asking what has happened, ask what is possible. - Comprehensive Risk Assessment: By accounting for previously underestimated risks, Defiria's extreme risk methods provide a more complete picture of potential exposures. - Improved Capital Allocation: Helps in allocating resources more effectively by recognizing areas with hidden vulnerabilities. - Proactive Risk Mitigation: Allows for the efficient comparison of mitigation strategies through scenario based contingency planning. - Robustness and Process Understanding: Take decisions using robust metrics to never be surprised again by violent market movements. Looking at the returns for #BTC, we uncover that conventional methods for expected shortfall calculation are inadequate estimates of extreme risks. We plot these for both methods for commonly used confidence levels (between 95% and 99%). Not only are they breached multiple times using conventional methods, but occasionally so with large magnitudes. These failed 15 times at the 95% quantile and 3 times even at the 99% quantile, rendering the method effectively useless. In contrast, Defiria's approach was only breached once at the 97% quantile, with all other quantiles remaining robust. Even a single failure can lead to potentially devastating consequences, such as significant financial losses, loss of stakeholder trust, and major operational disruptions. Uncover and address risks with Defiria that traditional metrics might miss, ensuring a more robust and resilient risk framework. Simon Blöthner #shortfall #DeFi #Risk

    Has crypto matured into a diverse asset class? We observe that most sectors (if you can call them that) still correlate heavily with Bitcoin. So much so that the late Prof. Sandner used to re-iterate: Bitcoin is the signal, and the rest is just noise. When the market moves, most assets, independent of the sector, follow. Currently, it’s relatively easy to appear like a successful fund manager when everything trends together. However, true risk management isn’t about riding the wave in good times—it’s about being prepared for the extremes, where correlations can flip, and market conditions shift unpredictably (literally). In the extremes, correlations either go to 1 or -1. Strategists don’t need to be the monkey on a typewriter who just happened to get it right during a bull market. Instead, they should focus on building strategies that are robust enough to handle the inevitable divergences—when assets stop moving in sync, and individual decisions matter again. Missing the best or worst days in markets can significantly alter your performance. It’s not about timing the market; it’s about preparing for both the volatility and opportunity that extreme market moves present. Proper digital asset risk management is essential. Not only for weathering the storm but for capitalizing when the market truly begins to fragment and mature. The bottom line is: Crypto and DeFi may still be one big signal surrounded by correlated noise, but those who can manage risk and be ready for when the market doesn’t move in lockstep will ultimately be the ones who thrive long-term.

    Global markets are in turmoil, and crypto hasn't been spared. This is exactly why we prioritize risk management. I hope you have weathered the recent 20+% drawdown and, just perhaps, even come out ahead! At Defiria, we've long emphasized that traditional risk metrics like the Sharpe ratio often fall short when it matters most. Recent events have only reinforced our stance. It's time to demonstrate using recent data. We’ve found that the Sharpe ratio, rather than being a reliable guide, often fails investors when they need it most. We show that the Sharpe ratio is non-informative at best, and a weak predictor of failure at worst. We gathered data from over 1000 regulated crypto fund strategies, plotting their Sharpe ratios up until recently against the losses they’ve incurred. The results are clear: Sharpe ratios are systematically unable to capture relevant risk. Only a few funds managed to remain relatively unscathed. To protect your portfolio from the next market downturn, relying on robust and insightful metrics and mitigation strategies is key. Let’s talk about how Defiria’s risk management approach can keep you on the right side of the market. By the way, the right side is the upper side. ;-) #RiskManagement #Crypto #DeFi #SharpeRatio #Markets #PortfolioManagement

    We are very excited about the institutional adoption of decentralized finance and look forward to supporting FIs with market risk management challenges! It is our great honor to have contributed to the Zühlke Group paper on institutional adoption in which Stefan Grasmann, Hagen Weiss and Christoph Hock gathered data about the current state of institutional adoption across the different stakeholder groups which will be affected by it and which will be driving it! Have a look - it's great and free: https://lnkd.in/dApq6X5p

    This event left me energized by the insightful conversations on- and off-stage! Two days ago, I had the honor of being part of a fantastic Zühlke Group Banking Talk on institutional #DeFi. We kicked off the event with a panel discussion between Christoph Hock, Hagen Weiss and Stefan Grasmann, moderated by yours truly. The trio joined forces to conduct a study on the institutional adoption of decentralized finance, interviewing experts across different verticals. The paper will be released soon, and I'm eager for the final version! To tease a bit, we might be in for a "Hockey stick" dynamic. The DZ BANK AG gave impulses with Peter Kohl-Landgraf and Christian Fries showcasing the deep understanding that FIs deal with from a technical standpoint, explaining ERC standards and products required for regulated #tokenization and adoption. Before the ending remarks, Hagen Weiss was joined by Romina Bungert and Sandra Kumhofer for a fireside chat on the interplay between #decentralized governance and the resulting regulatory void in different jurisdictions. Then, we had a great time making connections and refreshing existing ones. A heartfelt thanks to Anne Bruhs, Marius Gartmann and the teams for the flawless execution and collaborative preparation! It was a pleasure. Jennifer Balder, Gloria Traidl, Jakob Sievers, Defiria

    Recently, I decided to embark on a journey to investigate and help institutional investors in adopting crypto assets and decentralized finance. This endeavor is close to my heart as it marks a significant step toward the future of finance. On the 4th of June, I will be joined by the co-authors of a paper that investigates the sentiment, the status quo and the outlook on institutional adoption. Stefan Grasmann, Christoph Hock and Hagen Weiss will be on a panel discussion in Frankfurt for a Zühlke Group Banking Talk at the Union Investment WINX-Tower Further, short impulses from additional experts like Sebastian Hailer, Romina Bungert and Christian Fries and, of course, networking! Don't miss it and register: https://lnkd.in/euMV3cuY Looking forward to seeing you there and journeying together towards the future of finance!
