This comparison showed the decentralized bitcoin market has higher volatility and the centralized markets have higher tail dependence regarding returns. The volatility analysis results are contrary to the established leverage reasons that market drops cause volatility.

It was also shown trade volume increases as prices decrease, demonstrating participants’ lack of confidence and consensus in a price-jump period.
