Cover Story: This paper reports on a possible, accurate method of estimating and forecasting cryptocurrency’s volatility and its dependency on central banks’ monetary policies. This paper proposes a Structural Break GARCH-MIDAS model to detect breaks that are exogenously determined by potential structural breaks in monetary policy, with the overall aim of answering certain research questions and contributing to research findings. The proposed model outperforms competing models in estimating the volatility of two cryptocurrencies, with an additional low-frequency variable from the monetary policy of the US and South Africa. Furthermore, we noticed that monetary policy impacts the long-run volatilities of the cryptocurrencies under investigation. View this paper
