Abstract
This study analyzes the relationship between foreign exchange (FX) markets and cryptocurrencies, focusing on both major and minor currencies. Using a quantile spillover framework, we examine how this relationship evolves under varying market conditions. The empirical findings reveal three key insights. First, spillover effects between the FX and cryptocurrency markets play a significant role in shaping their interrelationship. Under normal market conditions, the FX market has a limited influence on cryptocurrencies. Second, within the FX market, the U.S. Dollar Index exerts the most substantial impact on both major and minor currencies, while in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin holds the biggest influence over other cryptocurrencies. Finally, as market conditions become more extreme, spillover effects between the FX and cryptocurrency markets intensify. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of cross-market interactions and underscore the importance of considering market conditions when evaluating spillover effects between FX and cryptocurrency markets.
期刊介绍:
The focus of the North-American Journal of Economics and Finance is on the economics of integration of goods, services, financial markets, at both regional and global levels with the role of economic policy in that process playing an important role. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Empirical and policy-related papers that rely on data and the experiences of countries outside North America are also welcome. Papers should offer concrete lessons about the ongoing process of globalization, or policy implications about how governments, domestic or international institutions, can improve the coordination of their activities. Empirical analysis should be capable of replication. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to supply data and computer programs.
