尽管近年来市场对加密货币的兴趣呈爆炸式增长，但对它们的政治经济学研究，尤其是作为货币的加密货币，仍然不发达。考虑到国际政治经济学(IPE)文献中对货币和金融的广泛研究，这似乎相当令人惊讶。本文呼吁更多地利用IPE学术来分析加密货币作为货币。它首先认为货币理论--特别是“货币的商品理论”和“货币的国家理论”--可以为将加密货币作为货币的IPE研究提供有价值的理论见解。然后，它建议如何将这些见解纳入这项研究，提请特别注意分析围绕加密货币作为货币发展的政治动态。
Despite the exploding interest in cryptocurrencies in the markets in recent years, the political economy study of them, in particular asmoney, remains underdeveloped. This seems quite surprising, given the otherwise extensive research on money and finance in the international political economy (IPE) literature. This essay calls for a greater engagement of IPE scholarship in analyzing cryptocurrencies asmoney. It argues first that theories of money—in particular, the “commodity theory of money” and the “state theory of money”—could provide valuable theoretical insights for the IPE study of cryptocurrencies as money. It then suggests how these insights can be incorporated into that research, drawing particular attention to analysis of the political dynamics surrounding cryptocurrencies’ development as money.
