Ghana Cryptocurrency Awareness and Adoption Survey Data

The<i> </i>dataset presents responses from a survey assessing the level of awareness and adoption of cryptocurrency among college students and staff in a developing economy, specifically Ghana. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered through a snowball sampling technique, involving 989 students and staff from six Ghanaian universities. The survey data collection lasted three months between April and May 2022. The dataset comprises raw data available in SPSS (.sav), and Excel (.xlsx) formats with a codebook. It captures self-reported levels of awareness of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, as well as various determinants of cryptocurrency adoption based on the Utility Theory and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The questionnaire was divided into three sections: awareness of blockchain and cryptocurrency, empirical data on drivers of cryptocurrency adoption, and demographic information of respondents. The dataset provides valuable insights into the factors influencing cryptocurrency adoption in a developing economy context. It is suitable for further multivariate analysis, including Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), multigroup analysis (MGA), and logistic regression analysis. The data allows for reuse in future research to explore trends and drivers of cryptocurrency adoption in similar contexts.
