Among cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin stands out as the cryptocurrency with the highest daily transaction volume. This study examines the changes in bitcoin end-of-day closing prices, intraday bitcoin highest price level, and daily bitcoin transaction volumes created by globally published positive and negative news about both bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. The study evaluated the news about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies published on the websites of yahoofinance.com and Bloomberg.com between May 2018 and December 2018. The findings obtained from the study reveal that positive and negative news about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin did not cause a difference in bitcoin prices and transaction volumes.
