Abstract

This paper examines the efficiency and asymmetric multifractal features of NFTs, DeFi, cryptocurrencies, and traditional assets using Asymmetric Multifractal Cross-Correlations Analysis covering the period from November 2017 to February 2022. Considering the full sample with a significant variation...
