Abstract We propose a bitcoin-based exchange rate of USD/EUR and investigate market efficiency in the spot, futures, and forward FX markets. Structural-change, unit-root and Johansen tests indicate that the bitcoin exchange rate is a random walk and is co-integrated with the FX series. Inferences regarding the co-integrating coefficients suggest the long-run “unbiasedness” and short-run “fair game” nature of the bitcoin exchange rate. Our results are indicative of weak or semi-strong market efficiency.
