| Summary: | As crypto assets become more widely adopted, crypto asset markets and traditional financial markets may become increasingly interconnected. The close linkages between these markets have potentially important implications for price formation, contagion, risk management and regulatory frameworks. In this study, we assess the correlation between traditional financial markets and selected crypto assets, study factors that may impact the price of crypto assets and identify potentially significant events that may have an impact on Bitcoin and Ethereum price dynamics. For the latter analyses, we adopt a Bayesian model averaging approach to identify change points in the Bitcoin and Ethereum daily price time series. We then use the dates and probabilities of these change points to link them to specific events, finding that nearly all of the change points can be associated with known historical crypto asset-related events. The events can be classified into broader geopolitical developments, regulatory announcements and idiosyncratic events specific to either Bitcoin or Ethereum. |
