Abstract
Integration patterns between five leading conventional currencies after the US dollar and Bitcoin boost the investment potential of the latter relative to its hedging potential. We document that conditional Bitcoin volatility does not influence its dynamic pairwise correlations whereas the change in volatility of conventional currencies do affect the forex market integration patterns.
Keywords: dynamic conditional correlations, Bitcoin, conventional currencies, integration patterns, hedging potential
