Abstract

Environmental, financial, and economic sustainability are a few of the goals that corporations aim to achieve globally. Investor behavior and portfolio management are key determinants in facilitating the strategies to fulfill these targets. A group of financial instruments that most effectively addresses this concern is green bonds. Also known as climate bonds, green bonds are a type of bond issued to stimulate corporate funding solely for investment in climate and environmentally friendly projects worldwide. Issued by companies, organizations, and other groups around the globe, climate bonds have several uses in developed and developing countries due to their unique properties and characteristics. Cryptocurrencies are also popular financial assets that attract much attention globally. The most successful crypto asset, Bitcoin possesses several characteristics that pose as advantages and disadvantages in the financial markets. On the basis of our literature review, we present a comparison between the characteristics of green bonds and Bitcoin, suggesting that these two investment instruments have an environmental dimension. We also shed some light on how country-level characteristics and economic conditions may influence this comparison, thus opening avenues for future research in this area.
