Bitcoin replication using machine learning
提出一个机器学习框架,构建合成投资组合来复制比特币的风险调整收益和分散化好处,为投资者提供更优的替代方案。
Cryptocurrencies are characterized by high volatility and low correlations with traditional asset classes, and present an intriguing investment opportunity. However, their inherent risks and regulatory uncertainties make direct investment challenging for many investors. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a replication framework that employs machine learning to create synthetic portfolios that replicate the risk-adjusted return profile and diversification benefits of Bitcoin, by far the largest cryptocurrency by market share. We show that the synthetic portfolios offer a compelling alternative to direct investment in Bitcoin, delivering superior risk-adjusted returns net of trading costs while mitigating the risks that are associated with holding Bitcoin directly. Furthermore, the synthetic portfolios provide better diversification benefits and lower tail risk.
