We introduce several new families of indices around the digital-asset space: on cryptocurrency uncertainty, on cryptocurrency environmental, on central bank digital currencies, on non-fungible tokens (NFTs), among others.
These are developed from largescale text mining to reflect the memetic and emergent nature of the issues.
We show that these indices capture well movements and moments in the key digital-asset space.
These indices can provide a new channel to more comprehensively understand broad financial developments by systematic online empirical inquiries.
