Trading and Arbitrage in Cryptocurrency Markets
Trading and Arbitrage in Cryptocurrency Markets Igor Makarov1 and Antoinette Schoar∗2 1London School of Economics 2MIT Sloan, NBER, CEPR December 15, 2018 ABSTRACT We study the efficiency, price formation and segmentation of cryptocurrency markets. We document large, recurrent arbitrage opportunities in cryptocurrency prices relative to fiat currencies across exchanges, which often persist for weeks. Price deviations are much larger across than within countries, and smaller between cryptocurrencies. Price deviations across countries co-move and open up in times of large appreciations of the Bitcoin. Countries that on average have a higher premium over the US Bitcoin price also see a bigger widening of arbitrage deviations in times of large appreciations of the Bitcoin. Finally, we decompose signed volume on each exchange into a common and an idiosyncratic component. We show that the common component explains up to 85% of Bitcoin returns and that the idiosyncratic components play an important role in explaining the size of the arbitrage spreads between exchanges. ∗Igor Makarov: Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, UK.

Un-Chained: Experiments and Learnings in Crypto at Unicef
UN-CHAINED: EXPERIMENTS AND LEARNINGS IN CRYPTO AT UNICEF CHRISTOPHER FABIAN UNICEF has a 70-year history of investing in new solutions that benefit chil- dren. Examples of such technologies over the past decade include feature phone platforms like RapidPro, which, with more than 4.5 million users in 50 countries, has allowed governments and their partners to hear from young peo- ple via SMS about where diseases are spreading, what services they need most, or where relief might be needed after a disaster.1. Smartphone app MobileVRS has helped raise the birth registration rate in Uganda from 28 percent to 70 per- cent.2. The mHero platform has provided real-time information that assists in the fight against Ebola by connecting health workers who needed actionable information.3. Now we are preparing for a change that may rival the shift brought on by the exponential increase in mobile phone ownership and access during the 2000s—the possibility of immutable, accessible, decentralized global networks of information and data. This potential change is often described as the era of blockchain for development.

Legitimizing Bitcoin As a Currency and Store of Value: Using Discrete Monetary Units to Consolidate Value and Drive Market Growth
ISSN 2379-5980 (online) DOI 10.5915/LEDGER.2020.167 RESEARCH ARTICLE Legitimizing Bitcoin as a Currency and Store of Value: Using Discrete Monetary Units to Consolidate Value and Drive Market Growth Chad Albrecht,† Steven Hawkins,‡ Kristopher McKay Duffin§ Abstract. Cryptocurrency, and especially Bitcoin, has struggled to gain recognition as a legitimate currency from governments, financial institutions, and consumers. 1 This has occurred because many analysts and consumers believe that Bitcoin is not a stable and consistent store of value, a unit of measurement, or a medium of exchange.2 One way to overcome this challenge is for Bitcoin to be used as both a currency and store of value by a greater percentage of the world’s population.3 This paper seeks to identify how a change in Bitcoin’s monetary measurement (or denomination) can more easily facilitate Bitcoin transactions to increase its use. Specifically, we posit that applying whole number bias theory, from the cognitive psychology and mathematics fields, to Bitcoin’s unit of measurement will allow the value of Bitcoin to be referenced in smaller and easier to understand units with fewer numbers after the decimal point—such as the “Bit” or the “Satoshi.” In the process, the use of Bitcoin will include more whole numbers and allow the general public to more easily assign value to Bitcoin in day-to-day transactions. 1. Introduction According to Satoshi Nakamoto’s original white paper on Bitcoin, cryptocurrency is a nascent form of digital currency, which facilitates direct peer-to-peer transactions without the use of a third party or financial intermediary.

Mexico: a Strong Inflation and Positive Cryptocurrency Sentiment
Mexico: A strong inflation and positive cryptocurrency sentiment EuroMoney Research Team www.Europe.Money [email protected] October 8, 2020 Abstract Mexico is a large population that has continuously explored alterna- tive asset classes that has the potential to be favorable over traditional financial services and find safe heaven to protect self-interest from the ef- fects of inflation. This research work intends to find out the evidence of how Mexicans have proven to break barriers to trust and create massive adoption of cryptocurrencies. 1 Introduction Series of events that tells a story, a story of intertwined causation and reasoning, a decade long of currency value drop, the evident inflation, panic buying of cryptocurrencies, hedging against the currency, will this change the way we see Mexican citizens' massive adaption to cryptocurrencies? Is the Mexican Peso on the path towards hyperinflation which might result in compromising the definition of money and lose out as a unit of value and unit of store? We are here to find out the possibilities. Mexican Peso has been floating freely for more than 20 years, for this rea- son, since 1995, foreign exchange interventions have not been used to set the exchange rate. However, the interventions have aimed at other objectives, such as managing the stock of international reserves or reducing the exchange rate volatility during the unusual financial market situation [12]. \A much weaker peso is bad for the economy," Goldman Sachs economist Alberto Ramos said. \The sharp drop of the peso adds to already elevated macro uncertainty." Some of Lopez Obrador's policies, Mexico's trade relationship with the United States, and the U.S.-China trade dispute have helped drag down the economy[1].
