By analyzing a large cross-section of cryptocurrencies, we document the absence of the leverage effect in this market. Unlike the equity market, investors exhibit less panicking behavior and appear indifferent to negative returns in terms of market participation. Moreover, the negative asymmetric effect is reverted for some cryptocurrencies in our dataset, showing the investors’ fear of missing out. Our results are robust over different leverage effect models and historical time windows.
