Collection and Analysis of Financial Exchange Data on the Stellar Blockchain

One of the most important issues that researchers in various fields such as computers and economics need today is the underlying data related to exchange of money (in cryptocurrency form or fiat money). Analysis of such data enables one to evaluate the growth rate of cryptocurrencies or the impact of various rules and regulatory issues on exchange markets. In this paper, we introduce a new data set collected from the Stellar blockchain. Stellar is an open money transfer network which incorporates a decentralized exchange and is based on blockchain technology. One of the main features of this data set is the co-existence of fiat money and cryptocurrency transfers next to each other. In addition, the exact details of offers, bids, and exchanges can be traced.
