Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Since Bitcoin was first proposed in late 2008 and went live in 2009, hundreds of research papers have been published trying to understand the behaviour of cryptocurrencies and their impact on financial markets. Their size and importance to the financial sector has increased substantially also has the number of challenges they face and the negative externalities they have caused. This article reviews the related cryptocurrency literature and introduces articles included in this special issue on this theme which were presented at the 2020 Cryptocurrency Research Conference. We conclude by offering possible future research directions.
