Dependence structure between financial assets plays an important role in risk management. This research investigates the dependence pattern between the stock market and the potential of cryptocurrency. We employed time- varying copula and Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to model the extreme dependence between the United States (US) index stock market (S&P500) and Bitcoin. Empirical results show risk diversification for holdings of the S&P500 and Bitcoin during extreme events seem to be effective. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the dependence structure of the financial market during extreme events. This information is useful for investors who are seeking for the cross-market diversification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
