Abstract
Digital currencies and cryptocurrencies have hesitantly started to penetrate the investors, and the next step will be the regulatory risk management framework. We examine the Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall properties for Bitcoin and Ethereum, using GARCH methodology and filtered historical simulation. We find the both Bitcoin and Ethereum are subject to a higher risk, therefore, to higher sufficient buffer and risk capital to cover potential losses.
