Can sustainable cryptocurrencies truly serve as a safe haven during periods of market stress? This study explores how Bitcoin and energy prices shape the behaviour of sustainable cryptocurrencies, revealing that while Bitcoin drives market direction, energy price shocks can trigger abrupt regime shifts and heightened instability. The findings further suggest that during periods of energy-driven liquidity stress, sustainable cryptocurrencies tend to mirror Bitcoin’s downturns rather than provide a “green” safe haven. By distinguishing between gradual market adjustments and sudden shifts in market dynamics, the study offers a deeper understanding of the nonlinear forces shaping digital asset markets. These insights shed light on the complex interactions between digital assets, energy markets, and financial stability—an increasingly important area for policymakers and central banks as the digital financial ecosystem continues to evolve.
