Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between the volatilities of traditional and digital assets before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using daily data relevant to the period ranging from January 4, 2016, to April 15, 2020, the results of the DCC-MVGARCH model indicate that the stock markets responded to the Coronavirus outbreak as the crypto market with worrying volatility. Before this outbreak, Bitcoin and gold are considered as a hedge for US, English, French, German, and Italian financial investors. The conditional correlation between stock indices and other assets was skyrocketing during this pandemic, except for the couple SSE-Ripple.
