Abstract

This study explores the influence of the cryptocurrency markets (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, and EOS) on foreign exchange rates (VND/USD) from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2023 using spillover index and wavelet analysis techniques. The findings indicate a total spillover index of 43.4%, highlighting a significant relationship between the two markets during the COVID-19 period, while the cryptocurrency markets negatively impact VND/USD during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This study provides valuable insights for investors and policymakers aiming to mitigate risks and optimize profitability strategies.
