Hacks and the price synchronicity of bitcoin and ether
We use intraday trading data from the Kraken exchange to calculate the daily price synchronicity of Bitcoin and Ether from February 2018 to December 2022. We then use a comprehensive report provided by christalblockchain.com to investigate the impact of hacks on price synchronicity between the top two cryptocurrencies. Our results show that price synchronicity, as measured by the realized correlation, is consistently positive throughout the sample period, with only one (negative) exception. We further uncover a positive relationship between hacking events and the future price synchronicity of Bitcoin and Ether. This result is robust to an alternative price synchronicity measure.
期刊介绍:
The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance (QREF) attracts and publishes high quality manuscripts that cover topics in the areas of economics, financial economics and finance. The subject matter may be theoretical, empirical or policy related. Emphasis is placed on quality, originality, clear arguments, persuasive evidence, intelligent analysis and clear writing. At least one Special Issue is published per year. These issues have guest editors, are devoted to a single theme and the papers have well known authors.
