Abstract

Cryptocurrency is a digital asset accessible to the public and utilized for legal and illegal activities. While it serves as a medium of exchange and is recognized as a legal payment method in some countries, it has yet to attain such status in Indonesia. Nevertheless, by mid-2021, the number of Cryptocurrency investors in Indonesia had reached 6.5 million, with transaction values totaling 370.4 trillion rupiahs—surpassing the 5.37 million capital market investors recorded simultaneously. This study explores the profiles of Cryptocurrency investors. It also uses purposive sampling and multiple regression analysis to examine how awareness and perceived ease of use influence their motivation to adopt cryptocurrency. The findings reveal that awareness and ease of use significantly affect adoption motivation. These insights contribute to a better understanding of consumer behavior in the context of Cryptocurrency adoption.   Keywords: Crypto Currency, Profile, Awareness, Ownership Motivations   Abstrak Cryptocurrency adalah aset digital yang dapat diakses oleh publik dan digunakan untuk kegiatan baik secara legal dan ilegal.
