Sažetak
The paper aimed to investigate the statistical relationship between Bitcoin prices and Ethereum trading volumes, as well as to create a simple predictive model for Ethereum trading volumes based on Bitcoin prices. To perform Spearman’s rank correlation analysis and to construct an artificial neural network (ANN) model, daily closing prices of Bitcoin in USD and daily trading volumes of Ethereum were utilized. The timeframe covered by the data starts May 1, 2020 and ends November 22, 2025. In this study, Ethereum volumes were treated as the dependent variable, while Bitcoin prices served as the independent variable. The findings indicate a significant, moderate, positive correlation between Bitcoin prices and Ethereum volumes, and the ANN model successfully predicted Ethereum volumes with a high level of accuracy. These results reinforce existing evidence regarding the relationships among cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, by confirming the efficacy of artificial neural networks (ANN) in predicting trends within the cryptocurrency market, the study also makes a methodological contribution. In addition, the study also offers a simpler modelling approach that highlights the significance of bilateral interactions among major cryptocurrencies through a single-input model. Based on the impressive performance of the ANN model, exchanges, fintech companies, and investment firms could incorporate lightweight machine-learning systems into their forecasting tools to provide real-time analytics with minimal processing requirements.
