Empirical analysis of the order book and order flow of a Bitcoin marketplace and comparison with traditional markets — •Alexander Eckrot, Jan Jurczyk, and Ingo Morgenstern — University of Regensburg, Germany

Bitcoin marketplaces have some features that distinguish them from traditional marketplaces. Examples of this features are: Very high transparency, low trading volumes, 24 hours of trading a day without free days. Especially the high trading transparency makes this marketplaces a good resource for collecting data about the order book and order flow. We collected about 1,2 Million snapshots of order books for a Bitcoin marketplace from June to September 2014. The snapshots have a time interval of 7 seconds, which is small enough to reconstruct the order flow. We analyze these order books and compare our results with traditional stock markets.
