The analysis focused on key TAM constructs—Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Attitude Toward Use (ATU), and Behavioral Intention (BI)—to evaluate their impact on Actual System Use (AU). Findings indicate that PU and PEOU significantly influence BI, while ATU and BI strongly affect AU. External factors, such as regulatory frameworks and technological infrastructure, had limited influence, underlining the importance of perceived utility and ease of use in driving blockchain adoption. This research provides critical insights for policymakers and organizations, highlighting the need to promote positive perceptions of blockchain to encourage its adoption in anti-corruption initiatives. It uniquely assesses Ghana’s readiness for blockchain integration in combating corruption, addressing gaps in the literature on technology adoption in less regulated environments.

New regulatory frameworks that aim to protect remittances from illicit flows, such as money laundering and terrorism financing, have emerged. Remittance-sending and receiving jurisdictions must adopt and comply with the new regulatory frameworks for protecting remittances from illicit uses. These regulations emerged from standard-setting agencies in the West. The focus of this article is on one of these agencies, known as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which has developed a set of forty-nine recommendations for combating money laundering and terrorism financing. The article critically analyses remittance regulatory frameworks as part of broader AML/CFT frameworks in Nigeria and Somalia. The article uses data collected from Somalia and Nigeria between May 2023 to May 2024. The arguments of the article are twofold. Firstly, FATF’s ambiguous remittance regulatory frameworks challenge domestic financial institutions in Nigeria and Somalia. Second, due to its ambiguity and challenges, FATF’s remittance regulatory frameworks contribute to the financial exclusion of banked remitters in Somalia and Nigeria. This is mainly due to the unrealistic know-your-customer requirements of the FATF and the limited institutional capacity of local AML/CFT regimes in Somalia and Nigeria.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Criminology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734827","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}

Hong Kong has adopted a comprehensive and proactive regulatory approach, creating a dual-licensing regime for virtual asset trading platforms covering security and non-security tokens and tailoring the existing licensing framework under the Securities and Futures Ordinance to risks in managing and distributing portfolios that invest in virtual assets. This measured approach prioritises investor protection, market integrity, and financial crime prevention while fostering an innovation-friendly environment. Conversely, the UK has taken a conservative stance, integrating cryptocurrency regulation into existing financial systems and prioritising stability, consumer protection, and control over speculative risks. The UK’s framework emphasises Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing compliance, registration for crypto-related activities, and restrictions on high-risk products for retail investors. Through comparative analysis, this article illustrates how both jurisdictions balance regulatory oversight with financial innovation and how their regulatory strategies reflect their economic and financial priorities. The findings suggest that Hong Kong’s flexible, forward-looking approach, characterised by dedicated licensing, proactive regulation, and tailored investor protection, positions it as an agile player in the evolving crypto landscape. In contrast, the UK’s framework leans heavily on stability and consumer safeguards. Ultimately, Hong Kong emerges as a rising Asian crypto hub, embracing growth and innovation, while the UK focuses on reinforcing its regulatory defences. This comparison sheds light on how regional priorities shape cryptocurrency regulation, offering insights into the broader global regulatory landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Criminology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
