加密货币交易中同伴影响的实验依据

文章 arXiv papers · 作者: Peter M Krafft et al.

总结

本研究通过实验考察可见的交易行为是否会影响加密货币市场后续活动。研究人员部署机器人,在217种加密货币上进行为期六个月的低成本交易,交易次数超过十万次。他们报告称,个人买入行为之后,买方活动短期内有所增加,增幅达到这些干预本身的数百倍。

研究结果表明,同伴效应可能影响交易活动,交易所的设计选择也可能影响这种动态。该实验为所研究的特定市场和平台中的行为反应提供了证据,而不是对所有加密货币交易场所的一般性估计。文本没有解释如何衡量活动增幅、如何排除其他原因,也没有说明观察到的活动是否转化为价格变化或交易利润。研究的主要贡献是提供市场行为可能受到社会影响的证据,同时提醒平台界面和规则可能发挥作用。

核心观点

  • 实验考察交易者是否会回应其他参与者的交易行为。
  • 机器人在217种加密货币上进行了为期六个月的低成本交易。
  • 作者报告称,个人买入行为之后,短期买入活动显著增加。
  • 研究结果涉及某一所研究交易所中的同伴影响,不能证明存在盈利信号。
  • 交易所设计可能影响数字市场中的社会和经济行为。

# An Experimental Study of Cryptocurrency Market Dynamics









As cryptocurrencies gain popularity and credibility, marketplaces for cryptocurrencies are growing in importance. Understanding the dynamics of these markets can help to assess how viable the cryptocurrnency ecosystem is and how design choices affect market behavior. One existential threat to cryptocurrencies is dramatic fluctuations in traders' willingness to buy or sell. Using a novel experimental methodology, we conducted an online experiment to study how susceptible traders in these markets are to peer influence from trading behavior. We created bots that executed over one hundred thousand trades costing less than a penny each in 217 cryptocurrencies over the course of six months. We find that individual "buy" actions led to short-term increases in subsequent buy-side activity hundreds of times the size of our interventions. From a design perspective, we note that the design choices of the exchange we study may have promoted this and other peer influence effects, which highlights the potential social and economic impact of HCI in the design of digital institutions.
