Given Malaysia's stance on cryptocurrencies as a digitalisation pioneer, well the surge in crime and fraud, regulators organisations are concerned about retail investors' intentions to invest cryptocurrency. The research model integrates diffusion of innovation theory factors (compatibility, relative advantage, trialability, ease use, observability) with consumer behaviour focused perceptions (perceived risk perceived value). A total 304 responses were collected through purposive respondent-driven sampling. data was examined using SmartPLS Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). findings show that compatibility, observability, value have significant influences intention Meanwhile, influence advantage cryptocurrency is not supported. This vital for analysing underlying motivations Malaysian investors further formulating regulatory framework.
