  • Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology
    Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology Bitcoin and several of its more prominent cryptocurrency brethren have made headlines, with their popularity as high-risk investments steadily increasing. However, it’s hard to evaluate their risk and return potential as investments without first understanding their use and viability, including their underlying distributed ledger system – blockchain technology. Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrencies are similar to traditional currencies, such as dollars or euros, in that you can use them to purchase some goods and services. However, that’s where the similarities end. Unlike dollars, you can’t hold cryptocurrencies in your hand. They are completely electronic, global, generally unregulated and almost completely anonymous to transact. Although a growing number of merchants are accepting them as payment because of their attractive transaction fees and irrevocable nature, widespread adoption is a long ways away. Lastly, the extreme volatility of cryptocurrencies makes them very much unlike traditional currencies, which are meant to provide a reasonably stable store of value. Despite their unusual properties, there are some practical uses for cryptocurrencies, particularly in developing economies where distrust for banks, high banking fees, high inflation and heavy government capital controls make a currency outside government control popular (similar to how U.S. dollars are highly prized in developing nations, but without the need to physically smuggle them past the border). Unfortunately, because cryptocurrencies are pseudo-anonymous, they are also attractive for those engaging in illegal activities, which is why they often carry a negative stigma. Since governments cannot fully track the flow of money with cryptocurrencies, their ability to tax and prosecute illegal Instances of "Cryptocurrency" Articles activities is limited, which makes them more likely to limit the widespread use of digital currencies.

  • A Survey on Volatility Fluctuations in the Decentralized Cryptocurrency Financial Assets
    Journal of Risk and Financial Management Review A Survey on Volatility Fluctuations in the Decentralized Cryptocurrency Financial Assets Nikolaos A. Kyriazis Department of Economics, University of Thessaly, 38333 Volos, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: This study is an integrated survey of GARCH methodologies applications on 67 empirical papers that focus on cryptocurrencies. More sophisticated GARCH models are found to better explain the fluctuations in the volatility of cryptocurrencies. The main characteristics and the optimal approaches for modeling returns and volatility of cryptocurrencies are under scrutiny. Moreover, emphasis is placed on interconnectedness and hedging and/or diversifying abilities, measurement of profit-making and risk, efficiency and herding behavior. This leads to fruitful results and sheds light on a broad spectrum of aspects. In-depth analysis is provided of the speculative character of digital currencies and the possibility of improvement of the risk–return trade-off in investors’ portfolios. Overall, it is found that the inclusion of Bitcoin in portfolios with conventional assets could significantly improve the risk–return trade-off of investors’ decisions. Results on whether Bitcoin resembles gold are split. The same is true about whether Bitcoins volatility presents larger reactions to positive or negative shocks. Cryptocurrency markets are found not to be efficient. This study provides a roadmap for researchers and investors as well as authorities.

  • A Behavioral Economics Approach to Regulating Initial Coin Offerings
    A Behavioral Economics Approach to Regulating Initial Coin Offerings NATHAN J. SHERMAN* INTRODUCTION Initial coin offerings (ICOs) are an outgrowth of the cryptocurrency space in which companies raise capital by issuing their own cryptocurrency coin to investors. Although ICOs are an innovative method of raising capital, the growth of the ICO market is troubling considering no investor protection regulations govern the ICO process. Investors pour large amounts of money into these offerings, which are issued by companies that typically have no history of producing a product or revenue, and the prices of coins issued in ICOs are only rising because other investors also funnel money into them.1 This pattern is markedly similar to that of a speculative bubble. A speculative bubble occurs when there are “‘unsustainable increases’ in asset prices caused by investors trading on a pattern of price increases rather than information on fundamental values.”2 In a bubble, “smart money”—informed investors—bid up prices in anticipation of “noise traders” entering the market.3 The noise traders then enter the market due to the psychological biases they encounter in making their investment decisions.4 Eventually, the smart money investors sell their holdings and the bubble bursts. 5 Thus, regulators should create a framework that adequately protects investors in ICOs. The behavioral economics theory of bounded rationality provides insights for building this regulatory framework. Bounded rationality implies that humans make suboptimal choices.6 By understanding the psychological biases that influence investors’ choices, regulators will be able to help investors adopt habits that reduce the harmful effects of speculative bubbles.

  • Initial Coin Offerings the Frontier of Financing
    Initial Coin Offerings The Frontier of Financing February 2018 Initial coin offerings (ICOs) are a new fundraising model whereby a venture issues a new cryptocurrency to raise capital. ICOs offer both benefits and risks. This paper provides general background information on initial coin offerings, while our forthcoming companion report, ICOs: Defining Characteristics and Taxonomy of Crypto Coins and Tokens, delves into the technical elements and characteristics of initial coin offerings. What is an ICO? An ICO is a means of crowdfunding startups, whereby the venture issues a new crypto token1, specific to its own protocol or network, to investors in exchange for capital—typically an established cryptocurrency like ether or bitcoin. Startups use the raised capital for future expenses associated with developing their business. A typical ICO works as follows: a white paper outlining the project’s objectives and purpose is released to the public and a new crypto token is created on a platform such as Ethereum. Network participants settle on the tokens value through different auction models which play out during the fundraising process. Most ICOs function by having investors transfer funds (typically ether or bitcoin) to a smart contract that safeguards the capital and automatically redistributes an equivalent value in the new crypto asset in the future based upon pre-determined conditions. Some firms using ICOs have raised millions of dollars seconds after opening bidding, illustrating both the frenzied market and the reach of the technology. ICOs leverage crypto and smart contract technologies to replace venture capital (VC) and other funding models with more direct, automated, and decentralized solutions for participants to fund and then benefit from the development of a crypto network.

    The latest frenzy: rise of the token By Evan Jaysane-Darr, Jessica Mulvihill and Mariam Waheed In brief In this article, we discuss various aspects of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as the underlying blockchain technology. We offer a detailed description of the technical aspects of blockchain, its applications in the world of finance, fundraising mechanisms for new crypto projects, cryptocurrencies as an asset class, risks, regulatory aspects and the future potential of the new technology. We end on an optimistic note, arguing that the advent of blockchain has the potential to be the beginning of a new technological revolution.

In an economy which has enjoyed 26 years of consecutive economic growth and showed a resilience through the Global Financial Crisis which was the envy of many nations, the financial sector has played an important role. The past decade, however, has been one of significant change. The growth of the superannuation sector, the impact of the GFC, and the subsequent wave of global re-regulation have had a profound effect on patterns of financing, financial sector structure, and attitudes towards financial sector regulation. Research is conducted by leading academics, and benefits from support and insights from stakeholders across the financial sector, comprising representatives from K&L Gates, Suncorp, Australian Treasury, Westpac, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), FinTech Australia, The Reserve Bank of Australia, Stone&Chalk and the Australian Government’s FinTech Advisory Group.
