【Abstract】We use a semiparametric GARCH-in-Mean copula model to examine the volatility dynamics and tail dependence between cryptocurrency markets and financial markets. We do not find any statistically significant tail dependence between the financial and cryptocurrency markets, but we find lower tail dependence between Bitcoin and stock returns. There is lower tail dependence among Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, and the lower tail dependence between Ethereum and Litecoin returns is the strongest. The GARCH-in-Mean model shows that the uncertainty effect on cryptocurrency returns is not statistically significant, while uncertainty has a negative and statistically significant effect on Bitcoin returns. The fact that there is no tail dependence between cryptocurrency and the interest rate or the effective exchange rate of U.S. dollar suggests that cryptocurrency could offer safe haven, defined as an asset that is uncorrelated with stocks and bonds.
