  1. The table reports the estimation results for the 5% CAViaRs of Bitcoin returns with explanatory variables adopting a symmetric absolute value specification. The values of the estimated parameters (Beta), the corresponding (one-sided) p values (in parentheses), the values of the regression quantile objective functions (RQ), the percentage of times the VaR is exceeded (Hits), and the p value of the dynamic quantile test (DQ) are reported. All explanatory variables are standardized. Coefficients of explanatory variables that are significant to at least the 5% level are in bold. One and two stars denote statistical significance of the DQ at the 5 or 1% level, respectively. Two sample periods are considered: August 1, 2010– January 3, 2017 and August 1, 2010– December 31, 2019
