This study aims to address a gap in the existing literature pertaining to the liquidity of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Specifically, we examine the effect of reverse share splits on ETF liquidity. In contrast to equities, the utilization of ETFs enables the separation of signaling and liquidity considerations. Findings suggest that liquidity improves after reverse splits in both univariate and multivariate results. In the absence of delisting concerns, results support the liquidity hypothesis of stock splits. Full article

Using daily closing price observations between November 2017 and February 2023, this paper documents how the shocks of a cryptocurrency ETF resonate with ETFs representing traditional asset classes in terms of price and volatility. We find price transmission from the cryptocurrency ETF into the ETFs of several currencies, small-cap equities, and inflation. Risk propagation from the cryptocurrency ETF flows toward ETFs constituted of equities of various sizes, oil prices, high-yield corporate bonds, and inflation. There is scant evidence of transmission from ETFs with underlying conventional assets into the cryptocurrency ETF. The findings bear implications for low-cost risk management strategies. Full article
