Abstract

Benford's law, also known as the first-digit law, has been widely used to test for anomalies in various data ranging from accounting fraud detection, stock prices, house prices to electricity bills, population numbers, natural phenomena, death rates and recently so popular COVID-19 cases reports. DataHub cryptocurrency datasets (https://datahub.io/cryptocurrency) was used as a source for daily aggregated data about all transactions on all crypto coin networks from the first mined block on the Bitcoin network till the end of the 2018. The presented dataset is a collection of Benford's law conformity tests for all cryptocurrencies in the observed time-frame.
