摘要
We examine the price discovery contributions of cryptocurrency exchanges in the presence of market microstructure noise. Cryptocurrency markets exhibit a decisively higher level of microstructure noise compared with the NYSE or NASDAQ. Therefore, traditional measures of price discovery could be biased. To overcome this concern, we draw on the information leadership share proposed by Putnins (2013); by leveraging this information, we find that Bitfinex is the leader in the price discovery process. These results highlight the importance of accounting for different levels of noise when evaluating price discovery contributions. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
