ABSTRACT
Cryptocurrency,
a booming decentralised asset designed based on the blockchain architecture, is
particularly important to the market at the
present time by studying the volatility risk of cryptocurrencies. In this
paper, we empirically analyse the volatility risk of cryptocurrencies through
quantitative analysis models, comprehensively using the Markov state transition
GARCH model with skewed distribution (Skew-MSGARCH) and the autoregressive
conditional volatility density ARJI model introducing the Poisson jump factor,
and selecting the earliest developed and the most mature currency price
volatility daily return series, to deeply explore the volatility risk of
digital cryptocurrencies. risk. Finally, it can be seen through in-depth
analyses that the expectation factor and information inducement are the main
reasons leading to the exacerbation of the volatility risk of digital
cryptocurrencies. It is recommended that this situation be optimised and
improved in terms of the value function of digital cryptocurrencies themselves
and the implementation of systematic risk management and regulatory
innovation.As an important component of the digital economy, blockchain
technology can effectively regulate and improve the volatility of digital
cryptocurrencies under macroeconomic policies, thereby maintaining the security
and stability of emerging financial markets.
