Though the company has not previously hired lobbyists in Washington, last August it joined the Blockchain Association, an industry lobbying group that was a vocal player in negotiations over cryptocurrency tax provisions in the bipartisan infrastructure bill and that has spent nearly $300,000 on lobbying in the first half of 2021.

Although analysis of a single factor and cryptocurrency combination, as above, is of interest, more general findings across multiple cryptocurrency/factor combinations can also be pursued. Fig 7 shows, for each cryptocurrency and factor combination, the mean coherence values during the bubble and non-bubble regimes. Each horizontal subplot shows a different coherence period band, from the lowest period band (2–4 days) at the top to the highest period band (256–512 days) at the bottom. As the duration of data for each cryptocurrency varies, certain ranges are left blank when that cryptocurrency does not have enough data to produce values for such bands.
