In recent years, the rise of cryptocurrencies has sparked immense interest from investors, enthusiasts, and even regulators alike. However, the question remains: are cryptocurrencies truly ripe for empirical research? On the one hand, their decentralized nature, volatile prices, and novelty as an asset class make them a challenging subject for traditional financial analysis. Yet, with the growing adoption and maturity of blockchain technology, the potential for empirical studies in this area seems promising. Could cryptocurrencies serve as a testbed for new financial theories? Or, are we still in the early stages of understanding their economic implications? As researchers and practitioners, how should we approach the study of this emerging asset class?
