Abstract

This study examined cryptocurrency adoption patterns across developing economies using comprehensive data from 2018-2021. Through analysis of 45 developing countries, we identify key determinants of crypto adoption including financial inclusion gaps, currency stability, regulatory frameworks, and technological infrastructure. Our findings revealed that countries with higher inflation rates, lower banking penetration, and more favourable regulatory environments demonstrate significantly higher cryptocurrency adoption rates. The study contributes to understanding digital finance evolution in emerging markets and provides policy implications for fostering inclusive financial systems.
