Abstract

In the digital era, protecting intellectual property rights (IPR) presents major challenges due to the vulnerabilities of centralized storage systems, which are susceptible to data breaches, manipulation, and unauthorized access. This study explores the adoption of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) as a decentralized alternative for securing IPR, with a focus on user-centric factors that are often neglected in prior research. Specifically, the research examines how five key constructs security, transparency, persistence, ease of use, and cost efficiency influence adoption decisions among non-technical users. A quantitative method was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with data collected from 110 digital business students. The findings reveal that all five constructs significantly impact users’ willingness to adopt IPFS. This is supported by strong outer loading values (>0.70), high Average Variance Extracted (AVE >0.50), and high reliability scores (Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability >0.70). These results validate the proposed adoption model and underscore the importance of behavioral and perceptual considerations in decentralized technology acceptance. Furthermore, the study highlights the relevance of integrating IPFS in academic and SME environments, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4, 9, and 16) by promoting secure, inclusive, and innovative digital infrastructure. Future studies are encouraged to include more diverse demographic groups and address regulatory and interoperability challenges to enhance scalability and adoption.

Abstract

The development of blockchain technology has driven the emergence of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as unique digital assets traded through specialized marketplaces, forming a new digital economic ecosystem. Despite the rapid growth of the NFTs market, issues such as price volatility, the dominance of speculative activities, and uncertainty regarding long-term economic value remain insufficiently understood in academic studies. This research aims to analyze the role of NFTs marketplaces in shaping the economic value of digital assets, identify the factors influencing NFTs price dynamics, and evaluate the economic implications of the NFTs market for creators, investors, and marketplace platforms. This study employs an empirical quantitative approach by utilizing NFTs transaction data obtained from the OpenSea API, NonFungible.com, and CryptoSlam. The variables analyzed include NFTs prices, trading volume, liquidity, creator reputation, rarity score, and asset category. Data analysis is conducted using statistical and econometric methods to identify price determinants and market dynamics. The results indicate that NFTs values are significantly influenced by scarcity levels, creator reputation, asset utility, and the visibility provided by marketplaces. Marketplaces play a crucial role in shaping liquidity and market expectations, but they also contribute to increased volatility and speculative tendencies. This study concludes that the NFTs market has the potential to generate real economic value, yet it continues to face risks related to speculation and instability. These findings contribute theoretically to the digital economics literature and provide practical implications for the development of a more sustainable NFTs ecosystem.
