According to IntoTheBlock, more than 20% of major cryptocurrency exploits in the past year were due to economic risk scenarios, with individual trading losses from economic risks likely exceeding those from technical vulnerabilities (source: IntoTheBlock, May 5, 2025). The report highlights that, unlike technical risks, traders can implement effective strategies to mitigate economic risk, such as monitoring liquidity, slippage, and oracle manipulation. For actionable risk prevention measures, IntoTheBlock recommends using their DeFi Risk Pulse dashboard for real-time risk insights, crucial for active DeFi investors and yield farmers.

According to IntoTheBlock, as the DeFi sector evolves in 2025, technical risks such as smart contract bugs and code exploits are decreasing due to improved security standards, but economic risks remain significant for traders. Economic risks include factors like protocol incentives, liquidity gaps, and market manipulation, which can cause unexpected losses despite secure code (source: IntoTheBlock, May 2, 2025). Traders should closely monitor economic risk metrics, including liquidity depth and incentive structures, before entering DeFi positions to optimize risk-adjusted returns.

According to IntoTheBlock, data from 2024 reveals that over 20% of major cryptocurrency exploits originated from economic risk scenarios, such as price manipulation and oracle attacks. The report emphasizes that individual losses from economic risks are likely much higher than those from technical vulnerabilities. For traders, this highlights the urgent need to assess and manage exposure to protocol-level economic risks, monitor for abnormal market activity, and utilize available risk management tools to mitigate potential losses. Unlike many technical exploits, proactive strategies can significantly reduce the impact of economic risk, making risk assessment a critical component for crypto portfolio management (source: IntoTheBlock Twitter, April 26, 2025).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the US government's financial situation in 2023, with total costs of $7.7 trillion and revenue of only $4.5 trillion, could be likened to a public company on bankruptcy watch. This significant deficit highlights potential risks in the financial markets and could influence investor sentiment and market volatility as traders anticipate policy changes to address the imbalance.

According to IntoTheBlock, a new risk dashboard has been released, enabling traders to analyze economic risks for Term Labs using 19 advanced risk indicators.
