Abstract
|
We examine if two fundamental blockchain characteristics affect cryptocurrency prices. They are computing power (hashrate) and network (number of users), which are related to blockchain trustworthiness and transaction benefits. We find a significant long-run relationship between these characteristics and the prices of prominent cryptocurren- cies. We also document that cryptocurrency returns are exposed to fundamental-based risk factors related to aggregate computing power and network, even after controlling for Bitcoin return and cryptocurrency momentum. In out-of-sample tests, the com- puting power and network factors can explain the return variation of a broad set of cryptocurrencies, whose fundamentals are not included in the factors
