In this study, we investigate the pricing of risks in the cross-section of cryptocurrency returns. In doing so, we decompose total variations into systematic and idiosyncratic components, as well as differentiate jumps from diffusive variations. We show that a hedged portfolio sorted on...

We consider the performance of cryptocurrencies in the light of fundamental asset pricing and portfolio theory. We … observe how a traditional focus on reducing asset return volatility with Markowitz diversification actually misses the … significance of such volatility for growth. The recognition that asset growth is more likely subject to exponential or continuously …

We apply four quantitative methods for optimal allocation to Bitcoin cryptocurrency within alternative and balanced portfolios based on metrics of portfolio diversification, expected risk-returns, and skewness of returns distribution. Using roll-forward historical simulations, we show that all...

We investigate the behaviour of cryptocurrencies' return data. Using return data for bitcoin, ethereum and ripple which account for over 70% of the cyrptocurrency market, we demonstrate that α-stable distribution models highly speculative cryptocurrencies more robustly compared to other heavy...

What predicts returns on assets with "hard-to-value" fundamentals, such as Bitcoin and stocks in new industries? We propose an equilibrium model that shows how rational learning enables return predictability through technical analysis. We document that ratios of prices to their moving averages...
