Air Houshang Tajfar *1 , Safieh Siadat , Mohammed Mohsen Sadr
Abstract:   (66 Views)
The growth of electronic transactions has been facing increasing growth all over the world. In the past few years, Cryptocurrencies have attracted a lot of attention. However, there is a problem of trust in this regard, which has challenged its ubiquity. In this regard, the use of Blockchain can facilitate safe and fast online monetary transactions and increase trust in digital currencies. In this article, the effects of dependence on Blockchain technology and its transparency on citizens' behavior towards accepting digital currencies with the role of trust mediation has been investigated. The sample are 217 managers and experts of Tehran city exchanges who were selected randomly and based on Cochran's formula. Using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test, factor analysis and Lieserl's structural equations, the specified hypotheses were investigated. The research results show that the one-sample t-test statistic is greater than the critical value of t at the 5% error level, that is, 1.96, with 95% confidence, all hypotheses were approved. Dependence on Blockchain technology and transparency in citizens' behavior towards accepting digital currencies was confirmed with the mediating role of trust.ر
