Abstract
This study aimed to assess whether renewable energy cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), IOTA (MIOTA), and Stellar (XLM) can be considered hedging assets and safe havens for cryptocurrencies classified as "dirty", such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin (BTC) Litcoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC) and the clean energy stock indices WILDERHILL Clean Energy (ECO) and Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), from July 6, 2018, to July 6, 2023. The results show that the movements decreased significantly during the Stress period, which includes the events of 2020 and 2022. The Cardano cryptocurrency shows moderate movements, indicating stability and diversification, while Stellar shows moderate movements that suggest resilience. Conversely, XRP shows varied movements, requiring some caution, while IOTA stands out for significant movements associated with sustainable assets. These results interest players operating in these markets when they want to diversify and rebalance their portfolios.
