Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cryptocurrencies, which can be understood as mathematical money, are one of the main challenges that exist in the field of finance today and in our society and way of life in the very near future. The academic world cannot be oblivious to this development. That is why we, as Guest Editors of this Special Issue, are dedicating it to the role of mathematics in the transformation of the world through these instruments. Cryptocurrencies are built using complex mathematics and computational methods. However, in this Special Issue, we do not focus only on mathematics as a feature of the security and effectiveness of cryptocurrencies protocols but also on pricing mathematics. In that context, the pricing mathematics underlying these instruments can be useful tools for the prediction or estimation of the reasonable value of something. Therefore, we consider that academic research in this field will reinforce the importance of mathematics for cryptocurrencies.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Forecasting models;
- Effects on financial markets;
- Mathematical models;
- Cryptocurrencies mining;
- Future of cryptocurrencies;
- Abnormal volatility;
- Cryptocurrency pump and dump;
- Cybercrime and cryptocurrencies;
- Exchange frauds in digital transactions.
