Changes in digital money
prices, also called crypto money, have attracted investors' interest in recent
years. Investors who want to gain returns from rapid price changes have turned
to digital currencies, which is a new asset. In this direction, the possibility
of being an alternative to the traditional securities of digital money has
begun to be discussed. In the study, it was aimed to determine the
cointegration and causality relation between Bitcoin prices and Borsa Istanbul.
In this context, Engle-Granger and Gregory-Hansen cointegration tests and
Toda-Yamamoto and Hacker-Hatemi-J causality tests were used. Findings show that
there is no cointegration relationship between the Bitcoin prices and Borsa
İstanbul index value in the medium and long run according to both cointegration
tests; just Toda-Yamamoto causality test shows that there is a one-way
causality relationship from Borsa İstanbul to the Bitcoin prices.
