What Drives Crypto Asset Prices? Thank you for the content. Uniswap Labs Circle Copenhagen Business School Austin Adams, Markus Ibert, Gordon Y. Liao See the document in the comments section examining the factors influencing cryptocurrency returns, particularly Bitcoin (#digitalgold?), through a structural vector auto-regressive (VAR) model. KEY FINDINGS: - Impact of Monetary Policy: · Monetary policy has a significant influence on Bitcoin prices. For example, contractionary monetary policy contributed to over two-thirds of Bitcoin’s decline in 2022. · The model suggests that without the Fed's unexpected tightening in 2022, Bitcoin returns would have been significantly higher. - Role of Risk Premia: · Conventional risk premia generally have a positive influence on crypto asset returns, except during specific events like the March 2020 COVID-19 sell-off. · Since 2023, compression of crypto risk premia has been the main driver of Bitcoin returns, particularly independent of equity market performance. - Crypto-Specific Shocks: · Crypto-specific shocks are divided into changes in crypto risk premia and levels of crypto adoption. · The study finds that crypto risk premia have compressed significantly since 2023, contributing to positive Bitcoin returns, especially with the introduction of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF. METHODOLOGY: - Sign-Restricted VAR Model: · The model includes three assets (Bitcoin, two-year Treasury bonds, and the S&P 500) to identify the impact of three structural shocks: conventional risk premium shocks, monetary policy shocks, and crypto demand shocks. · The shocks are identified based on how these assets co-move under certain assumptions. - Crypto-Specific Shocks Analysis: · The model is extended to include stablecoin market capitalization to differentiate between crypto adoption shocks and crypto risk premium shocks. · A positive crypto adoption shock is associated with rising Bitcoin prices and stablecoin market cap, while a positive crypto risk premium shock decreases Bitcoin prices but increases stablecoin market cap. ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS: - Event Studies: · The study conducts event analyses around significant market events like the COVID-19 market turmoil, the collapse of FTX, and the launch of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, validating the findings on crypto-specific factors. - Conventional vs. Crypto Markets: · While traditional financial shocks impact crypto markets, the reverse is less significant, indicating minimal spillover from crypto to conventional markets. - Sign Restrictions: · The study imposes specific sign restrictions on the impact of shocks to identify and decompose the drivers of asset prices accurately. CONCLUSION: - Implications for Investors and Policymakers: · The findings highlight the growing importance of understanding crypto market dynamics and their interconnectedness with traditional financial markets. #blockchain #web3 #crypto #cryptocurrencies #cryptoeconomics #markets

How far do you agree with this #Elliot_wave_analysis on #Ethereum #ETH? As you can see, based on this #analysis, price is completing a 4th wave of higher degree wave 3, which could lead to a 5th wave. Then, we could expect waves 4 and 5 of higher degree to complete. What makes me more optimistic about this Elliott wave analysis is the fact that lower wave degrees are in line with higher wave degrees, and all rules and guidelines are being respected. #cryptocurrencies #technical_analysis
