| Title: | The effect of crypto price fluctuations on crypto mining, and CO₂ emissions amid geopolitical risk | Authors: | Yousaf, I Mohammed, KS Yousaf, UB Serret, V |
Issue Date: | Feb-2025 | Source: | Finance research letters, Feb. 2025, v. 72, 106551 | Abstract: | We examine the interlinkages between cryptocurrency prices, the energy consumption of crypto mining, and the resulting CO₂ emissions, considering the conditioning impact of geopolitical risk (GPR). Employing multivariate quantile-on-quantile regression (MQQR), we find that cryptocurrency price fluctuations significantly impact both cryptocurrency mining and its attendant environmental impact, particularly at higher quantile levels of crypto prices and GPR. The effect of bitcoin pricing on environmental awareness is seen across several quantiles. We add to the continuing discussion regarding the long-term viability of cryptocurrencies. | Keywords: | Cryptocurrency Environmental attention Geopolitical risk Multivariate quantiles-on-quantile methods |
