| Abstract: | The objective of the project is to understand whether online popularity, channelled through socialmedia and the volume of search engine searches, can be used to influence asset prices on financial markets. Cryptocurrencies, which remain vastly unregulated, and are real-time 24x7 markets, present a useful asset class to understand this correlation. The project involves tracking daily average prices of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, from various crypto exchanges, (this information is available on indices like CoinMarketCap and multiple exchanges such as Binance, OKEx and Kucoin). Keyword data can be sourced directly from the search engine market leader, Google. |
