Considering this, we explore Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thirteen cryptocurrency sectors to analyze the systemic risk level of the cryptocurrency market. We also examine the causality network among the sectors under extreme downside market conditions. Results show that smart contracts, along with Bitcoin and Ethereum, are sources of systemic risk. The extent of connectedness is 40 % during extreme loss periods. Our findings are useful for investors and risk managers who wish to take appropriate measures against the sectors that destabilize the market.en10.1016/j.frl.2023.104586info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSystemic riskCryptocurrency market sectorsComponent expected shortfallArticle58Q1WOS:0010984684000012-s2.0-85174458250Q1
