Systemic risk-sharing framework of cryptocurrencies in the COVID–19 crisis

We use the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) model to develop the systemic contagion index (SCI) for cryptocurrencies and examine their spillover effects. The SCI exhibits the highest value during the COVID–19 period, indicating evidence of pandemic-driven contagion channels. Similarly, cryptocurren...

Sumario:We use the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) model to develop the systemic contagion index (SCI) for cryptocurrencies and examine their spillover effects. The SCI exhibits the highest value during the COVID–19 period, indicating evidence of pandemic-driven contagion channels. Similarly, cryptocurrency systemic networks show that the COVID–19 period induced increased interconnections, highlighting a higher number of systemic contagion channels. Our study has practical implications for investors to identify the systemic vulnerability of each cryptocurrency and make informed decisions during the crisis and non-crisis periods.
