摘要
This paper investigates the impact of US monetary policy shocks on Bitcoin prices. On the day of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, a hypothetical unexpected monetary tightening by 1 basis point of two-year Treasury yield is associated with a 0.25% drop in the price of Bitcoin, comparable in magnitude to the effect on the gold price. The cumulative effect is much stronger in the next few days following the FOMC meeting. Impulse response analysis shows that this effect is very persistent. According to quantile regression, monetary policy surprises have a greater impact on Bitcoin prices during a market boom.
