description Cryptocurrencies have risen to prominence as a vital financial software system. They rely on a secure distributed ledger data structure, with mining as a key component. Mining adds records of previous transactions to the Blockchain, a distributed ledger that allows users to reach a safe, reliable consensus for each transaction. Mining also creates wealth in the form of new currency units. As a result, this research aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the published scientific literature on cryptocurrency's present trend and development. All relevant literature on cryptocurrency was compiled using Scopus. We also utilize Publish or Perish to integrate the data and perform fundamental analysis before visualizing it with VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel. The number of citations, publications, and research productivity were all measured using the bibliometric method. Based on the keyword search results, 2,249 documents were identified. Only publications published in peer-reviewed journals were chosen, and most articles were written in English. Limiting the Scopus database to journal papers yielded all of these articles. The bibliometric analysis summarises the current state of the scientific literature on cryptocurrencies and highlights topics worth investigating.
