Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue aims to explore the intersection of quantitative methods and digital finance, addressing how traditional financial mathematics can adapt to emerging FinTech applications. The rapid development of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) has created new opportunities for applying techniques such as machine learning and optimization, while presenting novel challenges requiring innovative quantitative approaches. We invite original research papers that advance theoretical understanding and practical implementation of quantitative methods in digital finance contexts, including machine learning applications, cryptocurrency modeling, DeFi protocols, robo-advisory systems, and regulatory technology. We encourage contributions from diverse disciplines including finance, mathematics, computer science, and economics. The topics covered in this special issue will include, but are not limited to: behavioral finance in digital contexts, blockchain-based financial instruments, automated market makers, risk management in decentralized systems, and novel computational techniques for digital asset pricing and portfolio optimization.
