Abstract
This study examines the time-varying connectedness among the realized volatilities of seven major cryptocurrencies between January 2020 and May 2022. To this end, we implement the time and frequency connectedness time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) approaches. Our findings propose that (i) the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the dynamic connectedness; (ii) the total connectedness index hits its apex around the official announcement of the pandemic; (iii) in line with previous studies Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Link are the largest propagators/recipients of shocks; (iv) the tightest volatility interdependencies are related to the short-run.
