摘要
We investigate the economic value of adding Bitcoin, instead of Gold, to a traditional portfolio from the perspective of a volatility timing framework. Using futures data, we find that Bitcoin adds more value than Gold does to the portfolio during periods of dovish monetary policy. However, during periods of rapid rate hikes, Bitcoin destroys value while Gold offers safe haven and diversification benefits. Rebalancing strategies matter when considering adding alternative assets to a stock-bond portfolio in the presence of transaction costs. This study is timely given the macroeconomic environment of rate hikes and the downturn of cryptocurrencies.
