Contagion Event Simulation

Algorithm

Contagion event simulation, within cryptocurrency and derivatives, employs agent-based modeling to propagate systemic risk scenarios. These simulations assess the interconnectedness of market participants, focusing on cascading defaults triggered by initial shocks to asset values or liquidity. The core function involves quantifying counterparty exposure and modeling the dynamic adjustment of positions across decentralized and centralized exchanges, providing insight into potential systemic vulnerabilities. Sophisticated iterations incorporate order book dynamics and the impact of automated trading strategies on propagation speeds.
