Research on cryptocurrency portfolio construction (1)

Models Data Results Innovation References
CNN, DRL 12 most traded cryptocurrency assets The performance of the model strategy is compared to three benchmarks and three other portfolio management algorithms with positive results. In this paper, we propose a model-free convolutional neural network that takes the historical prices of a group of financial assets as input and outputs the weights of this portfolio.

DRL, MDP 10 Cryptocurrencies with Transaction Costs data from 2011/10/01 to 2011/10/20 The BTC buy-and-hold strategy has a cumulative yield of 93%. A state-of-the-art DRL algorithm implementation framework called FinRL has been created enabling users to train trading agents in the pipeline. An automatic backtesting module is also offered to assess trading performance. Liu et al.153
DRL, CVaR Data on the cryptocurrency market from 2015 to 2021 was used When the economic structure collapses, it captures the nonlinear compound effect of many risk shocks on the risk distribution and directs investment in the financial market with hightail risk. Based on CVaR risk measurement and a deep reinforcement learning optimization framework, a new bitcoin portfolio model framework is created. Cui et al.154

10 cryptocurrencies including bitcoin from January 1, 2018 to September 1, 2019 Bitcoin shows a fantastic investment opportunity with a buy-and-hold Sharpe ratio of 2.85, a return of 78.52%, and no volatility. Paired trading using cryptocurrencies adds an edge to traders. Osifo and Bhattacharyya156
RNN, LSTM, GRU Ethereum Deep learning is more effective than traditional methods in predicting transaction value. It is proved that the deep learning-based method is suitable for forecasting large-scale and long-term data scenarios Gu et al.157
