【Abstract】We propose using the hourly share of trading volume and realized variance measures to explore Bitcoin's intraday periodicities on Bitstamp Exchange. Empirical results indicate that the trading activity resembles a reverse V-shaped pattern throughout the day. The Bitcoin market exhibits noticeably higher trading volume and volatility during hours that coincide with the daytime trading hours of European and US stock exchanges. While Bitcoin's volatility is marginally affected by the opening of Asian stock markets, trading volume is almost unaffected. Both variables are substantially higher on weekdays than weekends. Additionally, we uncover a bilateral causality relationship between these two intraday variables.
