Digital and Conventional Assets (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

The advent of digital assets has been topical in many conversations in finance. There is a common belief that these assets will boost liquidity and fundraising, enrich global investor pools, and impact other financial markets. With the change in the dynamics of global financial markets, digital and conventional assets may provide evidence of responsive behavior to various global economic events. This implies that both digital and traditional assets may exhibit similar reactions or correlations to economic factors such as changes in interest rates, geopolitical events, or macroeconomic indicators. Understanding these relationships is crucial for investors and policymakers to make informed decisions and manage risks effectively. This suggests that there is ongoing research and academic interest in exploring the advancements and interactions between digital finance and traditional financial systems.

This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions on advances in digital finance and their relationships with conventional assets.
