Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue on "Cryptocurrency and Financial Market" explores the intricate relationship between cryptocurrencies and traditional financial markets, focusing on various accounting implications. Key areas of interest include the impact of cryptocurrency volatility on global markets, regulatory frameworks, and the integration of blockchain technology into financial practices. The scope covers empirical research, theoretical analysis, and policy discussions, offering a comprehensive understanding of how cryptocurrencies transform financial and accounting ecosystems.

The publication addresses essential questions regarding integrating cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance, the challenges arising from their decentralised nature, and the implications for investors, regulators, policymakers, and accountants. By presenting diverse perspectives, we seek to bridge knowledge gaps and encourage informed debate on the future of digital currencies in the global economy. Additionally, we examine challenges in accounting for cryptocurrencies, such as valuation, taxation, and financial reporting.

This Special Issue is positioned within the existing literature and builds on foundational studies on cryptocurrency and financial market dynamics, incorporating recent developments and emerging trends. It expands on previous research by offering updated insights into regulatory responses, market behaviours, and technological innovations. By highlighting new insights and identifying current gaps, the Special Issue contributes to a more comprehensive body of literature, supporting academics, practitioners, and regulators in understanding the evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, financial markets, and accounting practices.

The rise of social media has significantly influenced the cryptocurrency market, driving volatility through sentiment-driven trading. This study employs a bibliometric and content analysis approach to examine how social media, particularly Twitter, impacts cryptocurrency price movements. Using the bibliometric analysis, 151 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2024 were analyzed to identify key research trends, themes, and potential future research. This study finds that social media sentiment plays a crucial role in cryptocurrency price forecasting, with machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques enhancing prediction accuracy. Thematic analysis reveals four primary areas of focus: sentiment analysis and market prediction, machine learning-driven algorithmic trading, blockchain investment risks, and influencer-driven market behavior. This study contributes to the field by consolidating existing social media sentiment and cryptocurrency valuation knowledge, offering insights to investors, regulators, and academics. It highlights the need for future research to integrate multi-platform sentiment analysis, regulatory considerations, and behavioral finance perspectives. These insights are vital for understanding the evolving landscape of digital asset markets and their susceptibility to sentiment-driven speculation. Full article
