Baptiste Perez Riaza is a researcher at the University of Namur affiliated with the Center for Research in Finance and Management, Development Finance and Public Policies group, and the Namur Institute for Complex Systems (naXys). His work bridges financial economics and blockchain technology with a focus on empirical crypto-market analysis.
His research centers on:
- Market efficiency dynamics in cryptocurrency ecosystems
- Stablecoin depegging events and volatility transmission
- Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) as market efficiency catalysts
- Financial stability implications of crypto-assets
- Empirical testing of Efficient Market Hypothesis in DeFi contexts
Analysis of his publications reveals a methodological emphasis on quantifying relationships between decentralized governance structures and market efficiency, while his 2025 work pioneers frameworks for modeling stablecoin instability spillovers. These studies collectively challenge traditional financial paradigms through crypto-native market data.
His active research portfolio includes:
- Essays on crypto-assets and financial stability (2021-present): PhD project supervised by Prof. Jean-Yves Gnabo investigating market transformations through catalysts like DAOs and efficiency mechanisms
- Essays on crypto-assets and financial stability (2024-2025): Dedicated research project extending his PhD work to analyze Bitcoin, stablecoins, and systemic stability
As an integral member of naXys, he collaborates within interdisciplinary teams combining complex systems theory, econometrics, and blockchain expertise to address emerging challenges in digital finance infrastructure.
