Excuse me, could you please clarify what the default risk capital requirement is for Group 1 cryptoassets? I understand that there are various risk factors associated with different types of cryptocurrencies, and I'm interested in understanding the specific regulatory requirements for those classified as Group 1. Is this requirement set by a particular regulatory body, and if so, what are the key factors that determine the level of capital required? Thank you in advance for your insights.

    This means that the DRC requirement for these cryptoassets should be set at a level that is commensurate with the risk associated with the underlying traditional asset.

    The default risk capital (DRC) requirement for cryptoassets is a crucial aspect of their regulatory framework.

    By doing so, regulators can ensure that financial institutions are adequately protected against potential losses arising from the default of these cryptoassets.

    For Group 1 cryptoassets, which are considered to be more established and reliable, the gross jump-to-default (JTD) risk must be taken into account.

    The JTD risk is a measure of the potential loss in value that an asset could experience in the event of a sudden default.
