Abstract
Cryptocurrencies; are electronic currencies that use
cryptography in the processes of transferring money between their users and
coinage. In 2009, for the first time, Satoshi Nakamoto established the
technical infrastructure of Bitcoin and afterwards hundreds of crypto-currency
units with different features in terms of encryption algorithms, transactional
evidence and mining activity had been emerged in the market. These currencies
have also been started to be used as an investment tool in the historical
process. Nowadays, the markets that deal with these currencies have formed and
reached a market value of approximately $ 17.7 billion as of the beginning of 2017.
The market share of Bitcoin, which had more than 90% of this market value until
the beginning of 2016, decreased day by day, which made it necessary to examine
other currencies forming the market
This study was carried out to determine whether there is
a correlation between the daily price changes of the ten highest cryptographic
currencies on the market on 01.01.2017 and the price changes of the first
cryptographic currencies in terms of market value. As a result of the study, it
will be determined and interpreted whether the crypto currencies in the market
move in aggregate or discrete in terms of value exchange. Due to the surplus of
the currencies to be worked, the data are collected and analyzed for 2016
calendar year.

Abstract
Kripto para birimleri; paranın piyasaya
sürülmesi ve kullanıcıları arasındaki transfer işlemlerinde kriptografiyi
kullanan elektronik para birimleridir. 2009 yılında ilk kez Satoshi Nakamoto
tarafından teknik altyapısı kurularak piyasadaki yerini alan Bitcoin’in
ardından şifreleme algoritmaları, işlem kanıtları ve madencilik faaliyetine
konu olmaları bakımından farklı özelliklere sahip yüzlerce kripto para birimi
ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu para birimleri, tarihsel süreçte bir yatırım aracı olarak
da kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Günümüzde, bu para birimleri ile işlem yapan
piyasalar oluşmuş ve 2017 yılı başı itibariyle toplamda yaklaşık 17,7 milyar
dolarlık piyasa değerine ulaşılmıştır. 2016 yılı başına kadar bu piyasa
değerinin %90’lık kısmından fazlasına sahip olan Bitcoin’in piyasa payı gün
geçtikçe azalmış ve bu da piyasayı oluşturan diğer para birimlerinin
incelenmesini gerekli hale getirmiştir.
Bu
çalışma 01.01.2017 tarihinde piyasada bulunan ve piyasa değeri en yüksek on
kripto para biriminin günlük fiyat değişimleri ile piyasa değeri bakımından ilk
yüzü oluşturan kripto para birimlerinin fiyat değişimleri arasında korelasyon
olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, piyasada
bulunan kripto para birimlerinin değer değişimi açısından toplu mu yoksa ayrık
mı hareket ettiği tespit edilecek ve yorumlanacaktır. Çalışmaya konu olan para
birimlerinin fazlalığı nedeniyle veriler 2016 takvim yılı için toplanmış ve
analiz edilmiştir.
