Abstract: The Financial Risk Meter (FRM) employs Quantile-LASSO regression to identify systemic financial risk and dependencies among tail events across financial assets. This paper establishes, both theoretically and empirically, a meaningful economic relationship between the FRM index, derived from the penalization parameter in quantile LASSO regression, and the volatility of assets' pricing kernels, the attainable maximal Sharpe ratio, and market volatility. Despite the rapid growth of the crypto market and its increasing integration with traditional financial markets, there remains a dearth of risk measures in this space. $ FRM@Crypto $ FRM@Crypto exhibits robust predictive capabilities in anticipating future market risk, potentially filling a critical void in this market.
