Common Risk Factors in the Stablecoin Market

This project focuses on understanding what makes the prices of stablecoins (a type of cryptocurrency designed to stay stable) go up or down. Traditional financial models don’t fully explain how these digital assets behave, especially during market changes or when new regulations are introduced. By studying both general market trends and specific factors like liquidity, issuer trust, and new laws like the MiCA regulation in Europe, this research aims to create a better tool for evaluating stablecoin risks. The expected benefit to the participating institutions is the opportunity to strengthen international research collaboration, share advanced expertise in digital finance, and enhance their reputation as leaders in innovative financial research.
