Abstract: The accelerated development of digital technologies and cryptocurrencies in latest years has been accompanied by an exponential raise in related scientific literature. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis based on the VOSviewer software for documents indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2015-2024, focusing on the evolution of research topics in the field of cryptocurrencies. The analysis employs co-occurrence mapping of the main research topics related to cryptocurrencies. The results highlight a high degree of thematic diversification, organized into five major clusters with the following directions: cryptocurrency markets and financial performance, digital assets and technological foundations, blockchain infrastructure and governance, emerging applications and risks, general cryptocurrency concepts and operational aspects. This research contributes to the knowledge by offering a comprehensive and structured overview of cryptocurrency-related literature streams, providing valuable insights for scholars, policymakers and industry stakeholders seeking to understand the trajectory and future potential of cryptocurrency-related research.
