Abstract: Are crypto-assets resilient to rising uncertainties and geopolitical tensions? This article aims to examine the impact of economic uncertainties and geopolitical risks on crypto-assets performance. To do so, we mobilize data on the returns of 105 crypto-assets from January 2019 to December 2023. Our results highlight that uncertainties negatively and significantly affect the performance of crypto-assets. Moreover, crypto-asset returns are sensitive to geopolitical tensions (regardless of the threat or its execution). Overall, we provide unique evidence of the impact of uncertainties and geopolitical risks on crypto-asset market performance.
