The recurrence of global financial crisis catalysed the advancement of the financial technology which in this study proposes conceptual model for Cryptocurrency based Islamic financing Instrument. The paper is an attempt in proposing the conceptual model of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to determine factors influencing the adoption which derived from the literature review. Thus, the model proposes a direct relationship between variables of FC and BI and maintaining moderating factors of GEN and AGE while USE, EXP and VOL variables were removed. The paper expected to contribute to the development of a theoretical knowledge of UTAUT theory that expand the current limited studies on adoption of cryptocurrency based Islamic financing. The study also provides contribution to financial technology firms, academicians, regulators and practitioners on future work extension in applications in relation to Islamic instruments model adoption with end client. Nevertheless, the proposed conceptual model is set forth as the underlying approach for future empirical study validation in keeping with the technology momentum.
