Abstract

In the context of the new monetary technology, this study examines the dynamic interactions between the returns of Bitcoin and the Moroccan Dirham (MAD) since 2018. Using the VAR (Vector Auto Regression) model, we evaluate the dynamics of these two financial assets and their reactions to economic shocks as well as the decomposition of the variance of prediction errors. The results reveal significant volatility of Bitcoin, characterized by dramatic highs and lows, while the Moroccan Dirham shows near stability with notable fluctuations. The VAR analysis highlights significant relationships between the returns of Bitcoin and the Moroccan Dirham, with significant effects of lagged BTC and MAD returns on MAD returns, while BTC returns are not affected by either MAD or BTC itself. The unit shocks applied to the returns reveal immediate and short-term repercussions on the variables studied but are not significant. These results provide valuable insights into the interactions between Bitcoin and the Moroccan Dirham in financial markets.
