Research Topic

The Fragility of Blockchain: How Crypto Heists Shape Market Trends and Investor Behaviour

Research interests

My research focuses on exploring the vulnerabilities of blockchain ecosystems, particularly in the aftermath of cryptocurrency hacking incidents and their profound impact on market dynamics and investor behaviour. Specifically, I meticulously investigate how such attacks lead to declines in market efficiency, shifts in liquidity structure, and volatility spillover effects across platforms.
