Cryptocurrency trading: A systematic mapping study

Abstract

Cryptocurrency's unique features – decentralisation, anonymity, and diversification – have propelled it into the spotlight, attracting both investors and researchers despite its relative youth compared to traditional markets. This study utilizes a systematic mapping approach to examine the current state of cryptocurrency trading research. We are particularly interested in influential variables and technologies involved in cryptocurrency trading systems. By summarizing key findings on data, technology compatibility, and future research directions, this study serves as a starting point for new research activities in the field of cryptocurrency trading.
