Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the multifaceted landscape of the "Cryptocurrency Market", with a keen focus on nuanced aspects related to asset pricing, market microstructure, and corporate finance.

We welcome submissions of both theoretical and empirical articles that focus on topics of interest, including but not limited to the following key areas:

  1. Cryptocurrencies: Investigate the nuanced risk–return dynamics that set cryptocurrencies apart from traditional assets. Examine the emergence of derivative markets within the cryptocurrency landscape and analyze the effects of institutional investors entering the arena, exploring their influence on trading strategies, risk management, and overall market dynamics.
  2. Cryptocurrency Trading: Explore factors influencing the success of Stablecoins. Encourage comparative studies, including distinctions between centralized and decentralized exchanges (Dex).
  3. Crypto Tokens and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens): Navigate uncertainties surrounding ICOs and their implications for entrepreneurial finance. Delve into the unique role of NFTs, exploring their impact on digital asset ownership, artistic representation, and their potential to revolutionize various industries beyond traditional finance.
  4. Regulatory Challenges: Investigate the evolving landscape of crypto-related cybercrimes, privacy on the blockchain, and cybersecurity concerns, recognizing the pivotal role of regulation.
  5. Other Critical Issues: Delve into emerging topics such as DeFi lending, securities, oracles, and their implications for the cryptocurrency market.

We eagerly await and encourage your contributions to this Special Issue, anticipating valuable insights that will enrich our understanding of the ever-evolving realm of cryptocurrency research, particularly within the intricate landscape of regulation.

We analyze intraday liquidity for a range of cryptocurrencies across different exchanges. Among the liquidity measures used, order book variation is most interesting for crypto traders, as it directly impacts their profit/loss. We find evidence that order book variation can be explained by liquidity measures indicating that trades are timed. We report various liquidity patterns that allow traders to increase their profits by minimizing liquidity-dependent trading costs. We further find indications that crypto exchanges can control liquidity by the number of offered currency pairs. Full article
