Abstract
We examine the serial correlation structure of six liquid cryptocurrencies with a long data record - Bitcoin, DASH, Stellar, Litecoin, Monero, and Ripple - with a use of the detrended cross-correlation (DCCA) and detrending moving-average cross-correlation (DMCA) correlation coefficients. We find that these cryptocurrencies behave differently from the stock markets which are much closer to the random walk (efficient) dynamics.
We further discuss issues connected to strong statements about cryptocurrency markets practical inefficiency
