US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc on Tuesday reported a nearly 30% fall in third-quarter trading volumes on a sequential basis, hit by lower volatility and declining prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
This is a stable coin, so it is pretty unique among other cryptocurrencies. Stable coins have the backing of fiat currencies such as the Euro or US dollar. This means that if an investor buys 1 Tether coin, they will have the same value of 1 fiat currency (backing the coin). Theoretically, what this means is that Tether will have a more stable value than other cryptocurrencies that suffer market volatility.

The riskiness is taken a step further when it comes to newer coins because they make you more vulnerable to scams when compared to ones that have been around longer such as Bitcoin.
Using data from a prominent blockchain research firm, Coinmetrics.io, we explore the relationship between prices, computing power (measured by the hashrate), and network (measured by the number of unique active users). We focus on five major mineable cryptocurrencies (i.e. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Litecoin, and Dash). In some of our test, we expand our data to include an additional 33 cryptocurrencies. Our sample period spans from 7 August 2015 to 25 January 2019.

Identifying the determinants of asset prices is one of the most important questions in finance. Traditional asset pricing theories are founded on the idea that equity prices should be determined by fundamentals such as earnings (Gordon 1959, Campbell and Shiller 1988). In contrast, the behavioral finance literature posits that prices do not always follow fundamentals due to investor sentiment trading (Shiller 1981, Baker and Wurgler 2006, Stambaugh et al. 2012). Eventually however, equity prices seem to trace their fundamentals (Pa´stor and Veronesi, 2003, 2006, Bartram and Grinblatt 2018).
ELIZABETH WARREN: Right now, our regulators and frankly our Congress is an hour late and a dollar short, and we need to catch up with where these cryptocurrencies are going.
All the signs, however, were there. Like previous bubbles, people were basing their belief in the cryptocurrency on their emotions, not any intrinsic value. Then there was the FOMO element, which only compounded things. Essentially, bitcoin became an international fever. Random companies were “pivoting to blockchain” for no apparent reason other than that it seemed like a way to create buzz. But when the bubble bursts, FOMO turns into fear of losing, which makes for an especially rapid plunge.
