Dear Colleagues,

Bitcoin represents the most important application of blockchain. This technology has rapidly expanded and led to the emergence of a rich ecosystem composed of many cryptocurrencies, whose complexity impacted society at different levels and gained the attention of scientific communities, from physicists to mathematicians, computer scientists, and economists.

Understanding and forecasting the dynamics of cryptocurrencies is a fascinating challenge; the goal of this Special Issue is to collect relevant contributions in this field. Due to their potential in unveiling and describing complex phenomena, particular interest is oriented towards methods based on statistical physics, machine learning, and their combination.

For instance, network theory and deep learning, which have been proven to be successful in investigating this technology, can be exploited the study of many other aspects related to the dynamics of cryptocurrencies, their behaviour, and their interactions with other systems and technologies.

Contributions to this Special Issue are expected to shed light on the above issues and many others related to the world of blockchain, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies, proposing original ideas and innovative approaches.
