Abstract

Este artículo muestra los resultados de un análisis del desempeño de ocho de los criptoactivos más importantes entre la gran variedad que actualmente existe en el mercado. Se estudia su riesgo de mercado con base en métricas ampliamente utilizadas para activos financieros. El análisis se complementa con la evaluación de su desempeño dentro de portafolios formados con criterios convencionales. Se encuentra un comportamiento bastante heterogéneo entre los activos estudiados, sugiriendo que tal comportamiento obedece a las características específicas de cada uno de ellos, más que a las características comunes como una clase específica de activos. / This paper shows the results of an analysis of eight of the most important cryptocurrencies among the great variety that currently exists in the market. Their market risk is studied based on measures widely used in financial asset markets. The analysis is complemented by the evaluation of their performance within portfolios formed with also conventional criteria. A fairly heterogeneous behavior is found among the assets studied, suggesting that such behavior is due to the specific characteristics of each of them, rather than their common characteristics as a specific class of assets.
