Call for papers for the Special issue: Global Finance Review

The Introduction of the Special Issue

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that make use of cryptography to regulate the creation and transactions of exchange units. Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and monero have recently both gained and fallen rapidly in value. So, Cryptocurrencies have understandably attracted a plethora of attention from investors, regulators and the media, with attention from academia correspondingly growing.

Blockchain, originally established as a digital recording process to validate bitcoin transactions, avoids the supervision, surveillance, interference, and competencies of financial intermediaries, in favor of machine-driven systems that are inherently less transparent.
