Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue will provide a critical analysis of existing models that make claims for the behaviour of digital currency prices. The most famous example of digital currency is Bitcoin, but there are many other examples and we welcome research on them as well. New models would also be included. Issues related to market structure, such as the introduction of digital currency by central banks and its likely impact on Bitcoin prices, will also be welcome. Whilst the main focus will be on statistical analysis, the SI will be open to research that is broadly in this area.

Prof. Dr. Stephen Satchell
Guest Editor

In this paper, the Heston–Nandi futures option pricing model is applied to Bitcoin futures options. The model prices are compared to market prices to give an indication of the pricing performance. In addition, a multivariate Bitcoin futures option pricing methodology based on a multivatiate GARCH model is developed. The empirical results show that a symmetric model is a better fit when applied to Bitcoin futures returns, and also produces more accurate option prices compared to market prices for two out of three expiry dates considered.
