【Abstract】In this paper, we explore the volatility spillovers across different Bitcoin markets. We decompose the realized volatility into common and idiosyncratic volatilities, as well as the good and bad volatilities. Then the asymmetry in volatility spillovers between Bitcoin markets is measured by the DY (Diebold and Yilmaz) index. In addition, we construct statistics to test the asymmetry in volatility spillovers between different Bitcoin markets. The results are achieved as follows. The spillovers of systematic and idiosyncratic volatilities dominate the connectedness among different Bitcoin markets. In addition, the idiosyncratic volatility spillovers are more easily influenced by policies. Good volatility spillovers dominate the Bitcoin markets and change over time. The further results suggest that there is significant asymmetry between systematic and idiosyncratic volatility spillovers in the Bitcoin markets, while the asymmetries between good and bad volatility spillovers are heterogeneous in different markets. The findings in this paper can provide some suggestions for regulators controlling market stability and investors generating investment strategies.
