Interest rate sensitivity of traditional, green and stable cryptocurrencies: A comparative study across market conditions

Background This study examines the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the returns of traditional, "green", and "stable" cryptocurrencies from April 2019 to April 2023. Bitcoin, Cardano, and Tether represent these categories due to their market significance. Methods Using qua...
