The global usage and acceptability of bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrencies as another means of payment have generated the attention of financial and economic experts in recent time.

The study used monthly data between August 2015 and December 2019 and employed EGARCH, MGARCH, and Granger causality technique to estimate the reaction of the volatility of exchange rates and stock market prices to volatility in cryptocurrency prices.
