| Abstract:  | The aim of this thesis is to distinguish the interactions between return and market 
capitalization of Bitcoin and Turkish lira, a quantitative study was conducted out. In 
order to conduct the study, the daily returns and market capitalization of Bitcoin and 
Turkish Lira were used for the timespan of May 31, 2019, to May 29, 2021. The thesis 
goal was accomplished using several methods. Initially, applying descriptive statistics 
to find out whether the data series are normally distributed or not. Second, unit root 
tests were applied to test the integration order and observe whether the variables are 
stationary or not, in addition to determining if the data have constant covariance or 
rather variance over time. Lastly, the recently discovered Granger causality in 
quantiles approach by Troster (2018) was applied. Furthermore, the findings 
demonstrate that Returns of Bitcoin have a significant impact on the Turkish lira and 
vice versa, indicating the cryptocurrency's predictive power over the exchange rate of 
the Turkish lira. 
As a recommendation, the returns of cryptocurrencies should be closely monitored by 
investors who actively trade on the Turkish exchange market. Moreover, investors can 
follow the market capitalization of Bitcoin so they can have some ideas about returns 
of bitcoin for their investment decision. ÖZ:
Bu çalışmanın amacı Bitcoin ve Türk lirasının getiri ve piyasa değerleri arasındaki
etkileşimin ampirik bir çalışma ile incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın gerçekleştirilebilmesi
için 31 Mayıs 2019 ile 29 Mayıs 2021 dönemini kapsayan değişkenlerin günlük
verileri kullanılmıştır. İlk olarak, değişkenlerin normal dağılıp dağılmadığına
bakılmış, ardından birim kök testleri uygulanarak değişkenlerin durağan olup
olmadıkları incelenmiştir. Son olarak ise Troster (2018) tarafından geliştirilen Granger
Kantil Nedensellik testi ile Bitcoin ve Türk lirası getiri ve piyasa değerleri arasındaki
etkileşim incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Bitcoin getirilerinin Türk lirası
üzerinde ve Türk lirası getirilerinin Bitcoin üzerinde anlamlı bir ilişkisi olduğu
sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre kripto para biriminin Türk lirası döviz kuru
üzerinde önemli bir tahmin gücü olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Dolayısıyla, kripto para
birimi getirilerinin ve piyasa değerinin aktif olarak Türk lirasına yatırım yapan
yatırımcılar tarafından dikkate alınması önerilmektedir. |
