The survey data were collected from Malaysian individuals who have cryptocurrency knowledge, and the model was estimated via partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The results manifested that the Malaysian individuals� intention towards cryptocurrency adoption is high and the factors performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition and price value were found appreciably influences an individual's adoption behavior. This study can be extended by implementing or adapting this proposed research model to other countries, especially developing countries with emerging economies like Malaysia.
