Cryptocurrencies have seen a remarkable growth in value and public attention since their inception more than a decade ago. Opinions about the impact of cryptocurrencies range widely. Regardless, cryptocurrency markets have spawned a range of new sources of alternative data that could inform the management of related risks in crypto and other financial markets. This event will feature a lecture by Igor Makarov, Associate Professor of Finance at London School of Economics, a leader on academic research into cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance. This event is part of a series of events on the economic and financial applications of alternative data sponsored by Capital Fund Management (CFM) and Program for Economic Research (PER) at Columbia University’s Department of Economics.
