Abstract

This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive mapping research on digital assets connectedness with traditional finance, through multi dimensional analysis of 500 WoS documents, from 2018 to 2025. Thematic mapping distinguished 4 research domanis: motor themes (connectedness, spillovers, risk), emerging topics (DeFi, tokenization, spot ETFs), niche specializations (GARCH modeling, TVP-VAR), and declining themes (basic Bitcoin-gold correlations). Collaboration world map demonstrates strong Asia-Pacific research corridors, particularly with Vietnam – China – Korea as principals, alongside atlantic USA – UK partnerships. Source dynamics analysis shows Energy Economics and Financial Innovation journals experiencing rapid growth trajectories. Word frequency evolution tracking reveals declining emphasis of static hedging properties coinciding with the rising focus on dynamic connectedness and impule-response frameworks. Affiliation temporal analysis identified the emerging research centers at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and Wenzhou Kean University. Bradford's Law application confirms research concentration following typical bibliometric patterns with core-periphery structure. The field exhibits negative annual growth rate (-21.59%) suggesting the world has entered a consolidation phase after the initial surge during the exploration period, with an average of 29.33 citations per document indicating substantial academic contributions withtin this specific research domain.
