Analysis shows cryptocurrency responds more to global risk factors than to economic policy uncertainty, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies in volatile markets.
This study examines the intricate relationships between cryptocurrency and various uncertainties related to economic policy and global risk factors. It explores the interactions between cryptocurrency and global risk factors, comparing these with their relationships to different measures of economic policy uncertainty (EPU). We find that cryptocurrency returns are more sensitive to global risk factors than to the country-level EPU. Notably, gold exhibits bidirectional causality with cryptocurrency in returns and volatility. The research sheds light on the dynamic interactions within cryptocurrency markets, underscoring the importance of continuous monitoring and adaptive strategies to navigate the evolving financial landscape of the digital ecosystem.
