Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the link between Perceived Volatility Reduction (PVR), Risk Perception, Stablecoin Usage Frequency, Market Confidence, and Stablecoin Adoption (SA). The primary goal is to determine if and to what degree these variables impact stablecoin adoption. We created a questionnaire to gather information from 198 Malaysians. To analyze the research model and test the hypotheses, the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method was utilized. According to the findings, there is a strong and positive association between Perceived Volatility Reduction (PVR) and Stablecoin Adoption (SA). Market players are more likely to adopt stablecoins if they perceive them as useful instruments for mitigating the severe price volatility inherent in traditional cryptocurrencies. This finding emphasizes the importance of risk perception and market stability in driving market behavior. Trust in stablecoin systems, transparency, and regulatory, compliance influenced PVR and SA. The study's findings underscore the significance of perceived volatility reduction (PVR) in driving stablecoin adoption (SA), highlighting the importance of risk perception and market stability. Trust in stablecoin systems, transparency, and regulatory compliance emerge as crucial factors influencing PVR and SA. These insights offer valuable guidance for investors navigating the cryptocurrency market, governments managing stablecoin supply, and scholars studying trust dynamics in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
