Abstract
As one of the most important and famous applications of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency has attracted extensive attention recently. Empowered by blockchain technology, all the transaction records of cryptocurrencies are irreversible and recorded in the blocks. These transaction records containing rich information and complete traces of financial activities are publicly accessible, thus providing researchers with unprecedented opportunities for data mining and knowledge discovery in this area.
