Financial Analysis of Digital Assets: Inter-relationship with traditional assets and improving digit asset modeling over traditional financial assets

In May 2021, the total market capitalization of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) exceeded $2.4 Trillion (USD), tripling in the past 3 years. Yet, digital assets are widely misunderstood even by experienced investors, primarily because the technologies empowering digital assets are new and are rapidly evolving. Hence, scientific approach to understanding digital assets is necessary, given their increasingly significant role in financial markets. The primary goals of this project are (a) to help bridge the gap between the analysis of traditional financial market and the rapidly evolving world of digital assets; (b) to create tangible and intangible measures of value for digital tokens; and (c) to examine and analyze the data transparency provided by blockchain-ledgers that can improve digital asset modeling over traditional order-books.
