Abstract

This study explores the potential of Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies in sustainable finance by focusing on volatility transmission between these cryptocurrencies and conventional digital assets like Bitcoin and PaxGold. Using a Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregression (TVP-VAR) approach, we analyze data from December 2019 to July 2023, including the COVID-19 pandemic period. Findings reveal a complex volatility network, with Bitcoin and HelloGold as major transmitters of spillover shocks, while X8X and PaxGold mainly serve as net recipients. Notable interactions between Bitcoin and Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrency markets show short-lived pairwise volatility interactions. Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies, net recipients of volatility, absorb market shocks, making them suitable for hedging against volatility. This can aid in diversifying portfolios, mitigating adverse market impacts, and informing risk management and regulatory approaches. Our research emphasizes the importance of Islamic finance in ethical and sustainable investment within the evolving cryptocurrency market.
