LEVEL-UP YOUR DIGITAL ASSET INVESTING AND TRADING CAPABILITIES WITH THIS AUTHORITATIVE GUIDE TO PRICING CRYPTOCURRENCIES Financial Mathematics for Cryptocurrencies, by quantitative strategist and market researcher Tom J. Espel, applies rigorous and up-to-date pricing models and theory to digital assets, blockchains, and crypto. The author draws on his extensive experience in frontier assets to explain the analytical frameworks you’ll need to make informed investment decisions, identify pricing opportunities, and manage risk in this volatile asset class. The book walks you through the foundations of robust DeFi pricing theory: network time, the validator account as a new numéraire, and wrapped token frameworks for cross-chain valuation. Its modular structure covers mathematical frameworks for staking contracts and liquid staking derivatives, comprehensive network valuation methods including Metcalfe’s Law and Reed’s Law, pricing theory extending arbitrage-free principles to blockchain assets, and liquidity cost analysis in cryptocurrency markets. Each topic is presented with rigorous and accessible explanations designed specifically for practitioners in applied mathematics and quantitative finance. Whether you’re a quantitative analyst, trader, portfolio manager, cryptocurrency researcher, or finance student, Financial Mathematics for Cryptocurrencies provides the essential mathematical tools you need to succeed in digital asset markets. Master the quantitative foundations you need to successfully invest in and trade digital assets Financial Mathematics for Cryptocurrencies by Tom J. Espel combines two of today's most dynamic fields – quantitative finance and cryptocurrencies – in a comprehensive guide that addresses the unique mathematical challenges faced by everyone involved in the crypto markets. Espel draws on his extensive experience in frontier assets to explain the analytical frameworks you’ll need to make informed investment decisions, identify pricing opportunities, and manage risk in this volatile asset class. The book adapts relevant quantitative finance methodologies specifically for digital assets, bridging the gap between traditional financial mathematics and the distinctive characteristics of blockchain-based instruments. Espel introduces three essential constructs for DeFi pricing theory: network time, the validator account as a new numéraire, and wrapped token frameworks for cross-chain valuation.
