Environmental attention and cryptocurrency bubbles: insights from the cryptocurrency environmental attention index

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We examine the association between cryptocurrency environmental attention and cryptocurrency bubbles. Our results indicate that environmental attention is positively associated with the probability of a cryptocurrency bubble and ranks as the second most important explanatory factor. The positive association is more pronounced for smaller, less-mature, and proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrencies, indicating that cryptocurrency characteristics are important determining factors of bubble formation.
