Özkan, Önder Aral
This study analyzes the market for initial coin offerings (ICOs) of cryptocurrencies. We focus on the hot issue market phenomenon in this market by performing correlation, run and regression analyses and examine the relationship between past and future coin offerings. We use www.coinmarketcap.com and www.cci30.com as our main data sources. For a sample of 759 cryptocurrency offerings between 2015 and 2019, we show that there are 23 hot and 23 cold months. The results indicate that the number of ICOs in the past positively affect the decision to offer new coins to the market.

This study evaluates the impacts of energy markets on emerging market mutual funds (EMMFs).
