Price, liquidity and information spillover within the cryptocurrency market. The case of Bitfinex
Journal Title: BEZPIECZNY BANK - Year 2018, Vol 73, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of the research was to investigate price, liquidity and information spillover within the cryptocurrency market. Since from the introduction of bitcoin, many other cryptocurrencies have emerged, there appears a question, whether the market is and will be dominated by Bitcoin, while other cryptocurrencies are only marginal and follow the price, liquidity and overall dynamics of Bitcoin, or can they be possibly used to portfolio diversification. The article contributes also to the debate on the possibility of contagion across the cryptocurrency market. By measuring and quantifying the spillovers of prices, information and liquidity among the cryptocurrencies, we try to investigate the strength of influence of the separate currencies on the whole system. The following cryptocurrencies traded in Bitfinex were taken it account: Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Dashcoin and Monero. All the prices were expressed in US dollars. The period of the study covers one year, from May 2017 to May 2018. Liquidity was measured by Volume over Volatility measure, while information inflow through volume traded. Volume of spillovers were computed according to the methodology proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz. The study suggest strong co-movement across the currencies and high and relatively stable value of spillover indices.
