RT Journal Article T1 Impact of social metrics in decentralized finance A1 Piñeiro Chousa, Juan Ramón A1 Šević, Aleksandar A1 González López, Isaac K1 Decentralized Finance K1 DeFi K1 Cryptocurrencies K1 User-generated content K1 Investor attention K1 Twitter K1 Social indicators K1 Uncertainty AB In our study, we have evaluated the impact of tweets, social indicators, uncertainty, and attention indices on the selected variables calculated from a pool of 51 decentralised finance entities. In so doing, we have identified some evidence that returns are impacted by tweets, but not by social indicators that appear to be more relevant for volatility. We have further confirmed that the S&P500 Index negatively influences cryptocurrency returns, which means that these two asset classes are substitutes. Uncertainty and attention indices are relevant in determining returns and the alternative measurement of volatility. However, they remain insignificant for illiquidity and our initial volatility choice PB Elsevier SN 0148-2963 YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30293 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30293 LA eng NO Journal of Business Research, 158 (2023) 113673. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2023.113673 DS Minerva RD 30 abr 2026
