This book describes how the rapid advancement in encryption and
network computing gave birth to new tools and products that have
influenced the local and global economy alike. One recent and
notable example is the emergence of virtual currencies (such as
Bitcoin) also known as cryptocurrencies. Virtual currencies
introduced a fundamental transformation that affected the way
goods, services and assets are exchanged. As a result of its
distributed ledgers based on blockchain, cryptocurrencies not only
offer some unique advantages to the economy, investors, and
consumers, but also pose considerable risks to users and challenges
for regulators when fitting the new technology into the old legal
framework. The core of this proposed book is to present and discuss
the evidence on financial asset capabilities of virtual currencies.
The contributors of this volume analyze several interesting and
timely issues such as the particularities of virtual currencies and
their statistical characteristics; the diversification benefits of
virtual currencies; the behavior and dependence structure between
virtual currencies and the financial markets; the economic
implications of virtual currencies, their effects, their price
risk, and contagion spillovers in a unified and comprehensive
framework; the future of virtual currencies and their distributed
ledgers technology.
