Abstract
Within this study, we analyse green cryptocurrencies versus sustainable investments dynamics by calculating a multifractal multiscale analysis (MMA) with Hurst surfaces paired with powerlaw distributional coherence tests for each series. Next, we determine multifractal cross-correlations by applying a maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) based trend-filtered variation of a multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DCCA). Finally, to determine the strength and directionality of potential causations, we determine the results of a nonlinear Granger causality test. The results for the MMA state -dependent unstable multifractality for each series. The coherence tests indicate that the series follow powerlaws or exponentially nested powerlaws and yield fat-tails in some cases. Moreover, we find strong scaling and multifractal cross-correlations between the cryptocurrencies and the sustainability series. Finally, the nonlinear Granger causality tests across four lags indicate a complex interplay between some of the selected cryptocurrencies and various indices. These results suggest the existence of potential predictive powers of these cryptocurrencies on the market indices.

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
Recognized by the European Physical Society
Physica A publishes research in the field of statistical mechanics and its applications.
Statistical mechanics sets out to explain the behaviour of macroscopic systems by studying the statistical properties of their microscopic constituents.
Applications of the techniques of statistical mechanics are widespread, and include: applications to physical systems such as solids, liquids and gases; applications to chemical and biological systems (colloids, interfaces, complex fluids, polymers and biopolymers, cell physics); and other interdisciplinary applications to for instance biological, economical and sociological systems.
