Thesis Overview

The project titled "Analysis of Cryptocurrency Adoption in Traditional Banking Systems" aims to investigate the integration and impact of cryptocurrencies within traditional banking systems. Cryptocurrencies have emerged as a disruptive force in the financial sector, offering new possibilities for transactions, investments, and financial services. Traditional banks are increasingly exploring the potential of cryptocurrencies to improve efficiency, security, and customer experience. The research will delve into the background of cryptocurrencies, tracing their evolution, characteristics, and significance in the financial landscape. It will explore the challenges and opportunities that cryptocurrencies present for traditional banks, including regulatory concerns, security risks, and technological advancements. By examining the current state of cryptocurrency adoption in traditional banking systems, the study seeks to identify key trends, practices, and strategies employed by banks to leverage this emerging technology. The project will address the following key research questions: 1. What are the motivations driving traditional banks to adopt cryptocurrencies? 2. What are the challenges and risks associated with integrating cryptocurrencies into traditional banking systems? 3. How are traditional banks implementing cryptocurrencies in their operations and services? 4. What are the implications of cryptocurrency adoption for the future of traditional banking? The research methodology will involve a comprehensive literature review to analyze existing studies, reports, and articles on cryptocurrency adoption in banking. Primary data will be collected through interviews and surveys with banking professionals, regulators, and cryptocurrency experts to gain insights into current practices and perspectives. Data analysis techniques such as qualitative coding and thematic analysis will be employed to identify patterns, themes, and implications from the collected data. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the understanding of how traditional banks are navigating the challenges and opportunities of cryptocurrency adoption. By providing insights into best practices, strategies, and lessons learned, the research aims to inform future decision-making and policy development in the financial industry. Ultimately, this project seeks to shed light on the evolving relationship between cryptocurrencies and traditional banking systems and its implications for the future of finance.
