What’s Happening in the Cryptocurrency Markets?
Prof. Yermack will provide a brief introduction and overview of the cryptocurrency markets, including their history and growth. He will then look in detail at the difficult year of 2022, in which the crypto markets lost about 70% of their market value and many prominent organizations became embroiled in defaults, scandals, and bankruptcies.
His talk will connect the problems in the cryptocurrency markets with age-old financial problems such as excessive leverage, poor governance, and inadequate transparency.
Time will be reserved for audience Q-and-A as well.
