This paper investigates the causality and cointegration relationships between seven major cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin (BTC), Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT) and Ripple (XRP), using Johansen Cointegration and Granger Causality tests over the period from August 21, 2020 to April 19, 2021. Results indicate that there exists cointegration among cryptocurrencies in the long run. Findings also show that there is a bi-directional causal relationship between BNB and ETH. Additionally, BNB appears to be Granger cause of ADA, DOGE and DOT. On the other hand, analyses provide evidence of one-way causality running from XRP to both DOGE and DOT. These results might have some important implications for investors in terms of portfolio management.
