Coherent Risk Measures

Definition

Coherent risk measures represent a mathematical framework for quantifying financial exposure, ensuring that risk assessments remain consistent under aggregation and diversification. In the context of cryptocurrency and derivatives, these measures satisfy specific axioms including monotonicity, subadditivity, homogeneity, and translation invariance. By providing a rigorous foundation for capital allocation, they prevent the underestimation of tail risk often found in volatile digital asset markets.
