  • 51% Attach                          –   27.1%             33.3%                20.8%

Below is a summary of the study:

  • There is a guaranteed rise in price one day after a token burn either due to deflationary pressure in the longer term, or because the gains for token burns will be more sustainable, all else equal
  • Mergers and acquisitions are almost a guarantee that the price will rise after one week due to the nature of such news which are generally tightly held secrets.
  • Regulatory announcements tend to have a larger effect on price when they come from news outlets and they are most trusted when the come from official sources
