Green Haven or Risky Venture? Exploring the Connectedness and Hedging of Sustainable Cryptocurrencies and Green Financial Markets
Abstract
Conventional cryptocurrency often leads to increased energy consumption and carbon emissions, while sustainable cryptocurrencies possess the potential to become a green alternative in portfolio management. This study aims to investigate the time-varying connectedness between sustainable cryptocurrency and green financial markets as well as hedging performance when facing market shocks, including COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine war. TVP-VAR model with Fourier transform and Multivariate GARCH models are employed. The findings indicate that the pairwise connectedness between the sustainable cryptocurrencies and green financial markets has been at a low level, providing diversification benefits in investment portfolio. Besides, short-term connectedness dominates medium- and long-term connectedness. Sustainable cryptocurrencies show higher hedging effectiveness than traditional cryptocurrency.
