“…Second, to formally test the information propagation effects within crypto communities, we form a cross-sectional portfolio that implements an inter-crypto momentum trading strategy. Prior literature has documented that, due to information propagation, assets that have fundamental similarities will have momentum spillovers, wherein past return of one asset predicts the returns of assets linked to it (see, e.g., Moskowitz and Grinblatt, 1999;Cohen and Frazzini, 2008;Menzly and Ozbas, 2010;Lee, Sun, Wang, and Zhang, 2019;Ali and Hirshleifer, 2020;Parsons, Sabbatucci, and Titman, 2020). Based on this argument, we construct a trading signal for each crypto using the average returns of the rest of cryptos in the same community.…”
