Although analysis of a single factor and cryptocurrency combination, as above, is of interest, more general findings across multiple cryptocurrency/factor combinations can also be pursued. Fig 7 shows, for each cryptocurrency and factor combination, the mean coherence values during the bubble and non-bubble regimes. Each horizontal subplot shows a different coherence period band, from the lowest period band (2–4 days) at the top to the highest period band (256–512 days) at the bottom. As the duration of data for each cryptocurrency varies, certain ranges are left blank when that cryptocurrency does not have enough data to produce values for such bands.

The network’s miners then check the hash to see if the unconfirmed block is valid. This is a time for celebration among crypto miners because the proof of work has finally been completed. From the user's perspective, this essentially implies that the sender's cryptocurrency transfer to the receiver has been confirmed and will be added to the blockchain as part of the block.
In Bhambhwani et al. (2019), we challenge the perception that cryptocurrency markets are simply plagued with bubbles and speculative trading by identifying two key blockchain measures that affect cryptocurrency prices. Specifically, theory suggests that the trustworthiness and the transaction benefits of a blockchain are important determinants of cryptocurrency values. Pagnotta and Buraschi (2018) link trustworthiness to the computing power devoted to the blockchain. Biais et al. (2018) link transaction benefits of a cryptocurrency to the size of its network.
