Abstract
The rapid growth of the digital economy has increased interest in crypto assets as instruments for financial innovation, investment, electronic payments, and blockchain-based services. However, their adoption presents challenges related to price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, financial security, consumer protection, and compliance with Islamic financial principles. This study examines the economic opportunities and risks of crypto assets in Afghanistan and assesses their compatibility with the country’s economic, environmental, and sociocultural context. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining secondary data from academic literature, international reports, and regulatory frameworks with primary data collected through a structured questionnaire. Multiple linear regression using the ordinary least squares method was applied to examine the relationship between gross domestic product, remittances, investment, and crypto asset usage. The regression model achieved an R-squared value of 0.66, indicating that the selected independent variables collectively explain approximately 66 percent of the variation in crypto asset usage. The findings indicate a positive relationship between remittances and crypto asset adoption, while the relationships involving economic growth and investment vary within Afghanistan’s economic context.
