Using a sample of 323 respondents who are experienced in purchasing green products and belong to green communities on social media, structural equation modeling revealed that social media usage and online member group support have a significant influence. Both constructs significantly influence green purchasing behavior. In addition, social media usage significantly influences subjective norms and green knowledge, whereas subjective norms also support green purchasing behavior. Green knowledge contributes to social responsibility, and social responsibility supports green purchasing behavior.

However, this digital asset class carries several inherent risks. This study investigates the influence of three key risks, including liquidity risk, cyber risk, and regulatory risk, on the reinvestment intentions of investors. Data was collected from global crypto investors via a questionnaire and analyzed using PLS structural equation modeling. The study further used Investors' risk tolerance as a moderating variable. The findings of the study reveal that a significant and negative relationship exists between liquidity risk, cyber risk, regulatory risk, and investors' reinvestment intentions. Interestingly, investors with high-risk tolerance levels seem less affected by cyber security concerns, as they are more capable of absorbing or overlooking such risks. On the other hand, liquidity and regulatory risks appear to affect all types of investors irrespective of their risk tolerance level. This study bridges an important research gap by providing clear evidence on how these specific risks influence reinvestment decisions in the growing crypto market. It highlights the critical need for effective risk management strategies and stronger regulatory frameworks to address cyber vulnerabilities, tackle liquidity issues, and offer regulatory clarity. Taking these steps are essential for boosting investor confidence and encouraging their sustained involvement in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data was gathered from 368 social commerce users, providing robust insights into the factors that most significantly influence seller uncertainty.

The study also examined how BRI digital transformation dimensions (digital transformation strategy, strategic alignment, digital and IT assets, knowledge and capability, and innovation culture) impacted organizational performance. Lastly, BRI's organizational performance achievements were examined using operational excellence, customer experience, industry presence, and financial return dimensions.

This paper fills this gap and proposes a blockchain business model framework. The research utilizes a sequential exploratory research design (SERD), encompassing two key phases: an initial phase involving a literature review and interviews to delineate blockchain business model building blocks and types, followed by a subsequent survey to identify the most pertinent building blocks and types. The findings helped to formulate the framework, necessary building blocks, and block types specifically for the blockchain applications. Organizations can tailor their business model through various configuration options and mechanisms, considering the arrangement of block types within each block according to their significant score levels. By giving priority to those with scores above the block's average, organizations can evaluate the performance of their models and pinpoint areas for enhancement.
