Abstract

At present, the universe of cryptocurrencies is highly important and proof of this is the commitment of countries and institutions to the advancement of cryptocurrencies. This bibliometric research aims to discover the true reality of scientific progress in publications concerning cryptocurrencies and their communication. In any science or technological development, communication is important; in fact, communication is a digital asset that can make cryptocurrencies advance fast enough and in a profitable way. The methodology used is based on a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database, showing a positive result in terms of the increase in the number of publications, but without being too high in quartiles such as the first or second, which means that there are still no renowned scientific authors in this field, nor is there a clear link to other fields of study. The implication for the advancement of cryptocurrencies by communication is vital as a business development and scientific concern should focus on these aspects.
