Unpacking the black box of ICO white papers: A topic modeling approach

789 vues

This study applies a novel topic modeling method to map the thematic content of initial coin offerings (ICO) white papers in order to analyze their informational value for investors. Using a phrase-based topic modeling algorithm, we empirically determine and quantify 30 topics in a large collection of 5,210 ICO white papers between 2015 and 2021. We find that the algorithm produces a semantically meaningful set of topics, which significantly improves the model’s performance in identifying successful projects. The most relevant topics concern the technical features of the ICO.
