Split-Second Cryptocurrency Forecast Using Prognostic Deep Learning Algorithms: Data Curation by Deephaven

Sibtain Syed, Arshad Iqbal, Waqar Mehmood, Zain Syed · 6 authors

Cryptocurrency is a popular digital currency due to its security and peer-to-peer transferability. Predicting cryptocurrency prices is crucial for investors and traders to make informed decisions on buying, selling, or holding cryptocurrencies based on their expected value, potential risks, and returns. This study aims to identify the optimal model for predicting the prices of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), using Deephaven for Data curation. The study involves extracting data from both cryptocurrencies by Deephaven and selecting the most correlating parameters through time lag adjustment. We use correlating cryptocurrency data to train models, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Long-Short Term Memories (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). Where the trial-and-error technique was applied for selecting optimized hyper-parameters for each model. The models are then evaluated by statistical evaluators, such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), separately for training and testing datasets. For Bitcoin, the results showed that the LSTM model outperform ANN and GRU models in both training and testing data with MAE, RMSE, and MAPE average values of 0.079, 1.16, and 0.0006, respectively. While for Ethereum, the results also revealed that LSTM model performance is superior with MAE, RMSE, and MAPE average values of 0.0025, 0.124 and 0.0002, respectively. While GRU (MAE 0.012, RMSE 0.117, MAPE 0.002) performs robustly against ANN (MAE 0.035, RMSE 0.149, MAPE 0.003) model.

Volatility Spillovers between Bitcoin and Chinese Financial Markets

Ping Li, Jiahong Li, Lixin Huang, Zhenyu Cui

In his paper we explore the dynamic time-frequency volatility spillover effects between Bitcoin and Chinese financial markets, covering several main events. Results show that the volatility spillovers are asymmetric, with the Bitcoin market being the net risk receiver. The total spillovers, driven by medium and low frequency components, peak before the China stock crash in 2015, increase since the trade disputes between China and the US in 2018, and peak since the COVID-19 pandemic. The pairwise spillovers related to Bitcoins mainly concentrate on stock, foreign exchange, and copper futures markets. Although the pairwise spillovers are weak, the Bitcoin market is the net receiver in medium and low frequencies under external shocks. Therefore, investors and regulators need to assess the potential risk of Bitcoin based on asset type with the perspectives of time and frequency.

The asymmetric nexus between the cryptocurrency market and the carbon market: Evidence from the quantile-on-quantile method

Wei Jiang, Pinlin Zhu, Aslıhan Gizem Korkmaz, Haigang Zhou

We employ a novel framework to measure the asymmetric nexus between the cryptocurrency market and the carbon futures market based on different market conditions. Specifically, we use a quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR) approach to explore the correlation between cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple) and European Union Allowance (EUA) futures. We find that there is an asymmetric relationship between markets that is affected by different cryptocurrencies and market conditions. Overall, Bitcoin or Ethereum are positively correlated with the carbon market, while the results of Ripple are more complex. Under certain conditions, EUA futures can be a better hedge against cryptocurrency risk.

Going mainstream: Cryptocurrency narratives in newspapers

Clive Walker

This paper quantifies mainstream media coverage of Bitcoin to understand how a once niche interest entered public culture. From 2011 to 2022, five key narratives are identified as criminality, culture, politics, price and technology. Price, politics, and culture have become more prominent in coverage while the technology narrative has waned. Coverage that is more political or cultural is associated with subsequently lower returns whereas the criminality narrative is associated with higher returns. Together this suggests that as narratives have become more mainstream, they have created additional demand, despite the negative association with criminal activity.

THE NEXUS BETWEEN TWITTER-BASED UNCERTAINTY AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES: A MULTIFRACTAL ANALYSIS

Faheem Aslam, Zil-e-huma, Rashida Bibi, Paulo Ferreira

We take the novel Twitter-based economic uncertainty (TEU) to examine if it has cross-correlation characteristics with four major cryptocurrencies i.e. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. To conduct a more thorough analysis, we apply multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MFDCCA) on seasonal-trend decomposition using Loess (STL) decomposed series as well as without decomposed series on the daily data, ranging from 1 June 2011 to 30 June 2021. The findings of this study indicate that: (i) all pairs of TEU with cryptocurrencies are multifractal and have power-law behavior; (ii) the pairs of Ethereum and Bitcoin with TEU are found to be the most multifractal while Litecoin with TEU has the lowest multifractal characteristics; (iii) all STL decomposed series of cryptocurrency have persistent cross-correlation with TEU with the exception of Ethereum which has anti-persistent cross-correlation with TEU; (iv) all without decomposed series of cryptocurrencies show significant persistent cross-correlation characteristics with TEU; (v) the highest linkage is found for the pair of Bitcoin with TEU. Moreover, to reveal the dynamic characteristics in the cross-correlation of TEU with cryptocurrencies, the rolling window is employed for MFDCCA. These findings have important managerial and academic implications for policymakers, investors, and market participants.

Bitcoin and money supply relationship: An analysis of selected country economies

Nilcan MERT, Mustafa Caner TİMUR

<abstract> <p>Bitcoin has become quite known after the 2008 economic crisis and the COVID-19 health crisis. For some, these cryptocurrencies constitute rebellion against the existing system as governments encourage uncontrolled expansions in the money supply; for some others, it is a quick source of income. Undeniably, the volume of the crypto money market has grown considerably in recent years, regardless of the reasoning of the people who invest and trade in this field. At this point, one of the most important questions to be investigated is "what variables have caused the tremendous growth in the crypto money quantities in recent years?" This study tests the assumption that changes in cryptocurrencies are affected by changes in national currencies. Thus, the Bitcoin price is the dependent variable, and M1 monetary supply changes in the USA, European Union and Japanese economies are considered independent variables. The variables in this study were tested using the time-varying Granger causality method. The results obtained from this study confirm the philosophy of Bitcoin's emergence and the possibility that it can be a hedge against the inflationary effects of money, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> </abstract>

Forecasting Bitcoin Futures: A Lasso-BMA Two-Step Predictor Selection for Investment and Hedging Strategies

Weige Huang, Xiang Gao

After Bitcoin futures were introduced by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in December 2017, their trading volume has stayed in an uptrend due to speculation, though the scale is still small compared to other traditional futures. As increasing trading indicates more attention and the presence of institutional traders, there exists a need for reliable return and variance forecasts of Bitcoin futures contracts. Therefore, this paper first applies LASSO to pick out best-fitting predictors by shrinking the dimension of a universe of potential determinants sourced from intraday Bitcoin spot trades and daily futures variables. Then, a second round of predictor selection is conducted via Bayesian model averaging so that the modeling uncertainty can be mitigated. We find that factors standing out from this two-step procedure possess a strong predictive power for Bitcoin futures return and volatility in different time horizons. It is further demonstrated that the investment and hedging strategies established based on our forecasts perform well in out-of-sample validations.

Intraday trading of cryptocurrencies using polynomial auto regression

Gil Cohen

<abstract> <p>This research attempts to fit a polynomial auto regression (PAR) model to intraday price data of four major cryptocurrencies and convert the model into a real-time profitable automated trading system. A PAR model was constructed to fit cryptocurrencies' behavior and to attempt to predict their short-term trends and trade them profitably. We used machine learning (ML) procedures enabling our system to train using minutes' data for six months and perform actual trading and reporting for the next six months. Results have shown that our system has dramatically outperformed the naive buy and hold (B & H) strategy for all four examined cryptocurrencies. Results show that our system's best performances were achieved trading Ethereum and Bitcoin and worse trading Cardano. The highest net profit (NP) for Bitcoin trades was 15.58%, achieved by using 67 minutes bars to form the prediction model, compared to −44.8% for the B & H strategy. Trading Ethereum, the system generated 16.98% NP, compared to −33.6% for the B & H strategy, 61 minutes bars. Moreover, the highest NPs achieved trading Binance Coin (BNB) and Cardano were 9.33% and 4.26%, compared to 0.28% and −41.8% for the B & H strategy, respectively. Furthermore, the system better predicted Ethereum and Cardano uptrends than downtrends while it better predicted Bitcoin and BNB downtrends than uptrends.</p> </abstract>

Prediction of NFT Sale Price Fluctuations on OpenSea Using Machine Learning Approaches

Zixiong Wang, Qiuying Chen, Sang-Joon Lee

The rapid expansion of the non-fungible token (NFT) market has attracted many investors. However, studies on the NFT price fluctuations have been relatively limited. To date, the machine learning approach has not been used to demonstrate a specific error in NFT sale price fluctuation prediction. The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for NFT price fluctuations using the NFT trading information obtained from OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace. We used Python programs to collect data and summarized them as: NFT information, collection information, and related account information. AdaBoost and Random Forest (RF) algorithms were employed to predict the sale price and price fluctuation of NFTs using regression and classification models, respectively. We found that the NFT related account information, especially the number of favorites and activity status of creators, confer a good predictive power to both the models. AdaBoost in the regression model had more accurate predictions, the root mean square error (RMSE) in predicting NFT sale price was 0.047. In predicting NFT sale price fluctuations, RF performed better, which the area under the curve (AUC) reached 0.956. We suggest that investors should pay more attention to the information of NFT creators. We anticipate that these prediction models will reduce the number of investment failures for the investors.
