Resumo

Contextualização: Os ativos de criptomoedas, conhecidos por seu alto risco, têm registrado um aumento significativo no número de usuários, impulsionado pela procura por novas formas de investimento e pela diversificação de portfólios. Esta pesquisa se propõe a explorar e avaliar os fatores que determinam a intenção e o comportamento de investimento em criptomoedas.

Objetivo: O objetivo principal do estudo é compreender os efeitos da intenção de investir em criptos usando uma teoria de comportamento, acrescentando ao modelo a moderação cultural no comportamento de investimento em criptomoedas.

Método: Pesquisa quantitativa que utiliza a Teoria Unificada da Aceitação e Uso da Tecnologia (UTAUT) como lente teórica, a pesquisa aplicou um questionário on-line e obteve 222 respostas válidas para análise, dados coletados de fevereiro a maio de 2021. A análise de dados partiu da modelagem de equações estruturais, com estimação pelo método partial least squares.

Resultados: Os resultados revelaram a contribuição que a UTAUT tem na intenção de investir em criptomoedas, e que as variáveis de expectativa de performance, influência social e condições facilitadoras afetam a intenção de se investir em criptos. 

Conclusões: O nível de escolaridade, na amostra representada de maioria investidores propensos ao risco, foi fator significativo e moderador das variações no resultado do uso da UTAUT no contexto do comportamento de investidores em criptomoedas.
