In a move to simulate extreme scenarios, the Bank of Italy has analyzed the risk of Ethereum's native token price dropping to zero, showcasing how market risks can transform into infrastructure and financial stability risks. In a new research paper titled 'What if Ethereum price drops to zero? How cryptocurrency market risks evolve into infrastructure risks,' the bank's economist Claudia Biancotti discusses how extreme impacts on Ethereum price could affect the cryptocurrency market.
