| Abstract: |
This study examines the level of awareness, perceptions, and usage of cryptocurrencies in Jordan, a country characterized by a restrictive regulatory stance toward digital assets. Using survey data collected from 100 respondents, the study explores public familiarity with blockchain technology, trust in banking institutions, and actual cryptocurrency ownership. The findings indicate that while general awareness of blockchain remains limited, cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, are widely recognized. Notably, 9% of respondents report that they currently own or have previously owned cryptocurrencies despite the official ban. Descriptive comparisons with selected international contexts suggest that cryptocurrency engagement in Jordan is non-negligible given regulatory and financial constraints. This study contributes empirically by providing one of the first structured assessments of cryptocurrency awareness and usage under regulatory restriction in Jordan, and theoretically by contextualizing adoption behavior within trust-based and institutional perspectives.
