The study aims to elaborate on the Shari’ah issues regarding cryptocurrencies. The research found that overall Shari’ah challenges in studying this unprecedent issue can be confined to Bitcoin since it is the first cryptocurrency with its own protocol and laws, and the later versions of the cryptocurrency started using the protocol of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was distinguished being the only cryptocurrency that is classified as decentralized, whereas the subsequent versions of the currencies, which were introduced as an alternative to Bitcoin, such as Ethereum, were centralized by their issuer. Also, the tokens are merely representing the assets which were collected through it. The overall Shari'ah issues were summarized in terms of its asset and monetary consideration, impact of price fluctuations, decentralization, anonymity, and the mechanism of mining which PoW (Proof-of-Work) and PoS (Proof-of-Stake). This study has concluded on the Shari’ ah permissibility of the PoW system which is used in Bitcoin, and PoS system which is used in Ethereum. The contract is based on Ju’alah contract. As a principle, the study could not conclude the Shari’ah non-permissibility of exchanging, trading or investing in Bitcoin, and similar cryptocurrencies. These cryptocurrencies are subjected to all the guidelines related to exchange of currencies (sarf) and rulings of Riba buyu’ (sale on credit) and Riba duyun (interest on debt). Also, it will be subjected to monetary Zakat rulings. However, dealing with mining groups, electronic platforms, as well as investing in these currencies through various websites, may contain executing agreements and contracts that contain conditions not compliant to Shari’ah. These agreements should be examined in the light of the provisions of the Islamic law. Also, users should be cautious against falling into the net of fraudsters on the Internet.

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.

The presence of cryptocurrencies is basically an alternative model for providing decentralized money and payment. They provide a payment system model that no longer has to rely on third parties such as banks or governments to ensure that the payer can deliver the agreed-upon funds. In contrast, cryptocurrency systems inspire trust in decentralized, uninterrupted computer programs, which theoretically cannot deceive their users. The focus of the study in this research is related to the regulation of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, in Indonesia and Ukraine. Using Bitcoin in Indonesia and Ukraine to pay for goods or services is illegal. In this study, the method used is a normative legal research method. This method analyzes how the legal system reacts to a new problem that has not been regulated by legislation or systemic and comprehensive precedents, in this case, cryptocurrency. The normative legal research method is based on the post-positivism paradigm. Research results, in general, find that cryptocurrency is the antithesis of capital money. First, cryptocurrencies are neutralized by third parties being removed from the global system of economic actors. Second, as a medium of exchange, cryptocurrencies oppose fiat money. Despite the lack of material situation (use-value), the issuance of cryptocurrencies is not controlled by fractional reserve lending, thereby ultimately reducing the fundamental requirements of negative excess of capitalism to continue to grow. Abstrak Kehadiran mata uang kripto pada dasarnya merupakan model alternatif untuk menyediakan uang dan pembayaran yang terdesentralisasi. Mereka menyediakan model sistem pembayaran yang tidak lagi bergantung pada pihak ketiga seperti bank atau pemerintah untuk memastikan bahwa pembayar dapat mengirimkan dana yang telah disepakati. Sebaliknya, sistem mata uang kripto menginspirasi kepercayaan pada program komputer terdesentralisasi dan tidak terputus, yang secara teoritis tidak dapat menipu penggunanya. Fokus kajian dalam penelitian ini terkait dengan regulasi mata uang kripto y khususnya Bitcoin di Indonesia dan Ukraina. Saat ini, penggunaan Bitcoin di Indonesia dan Ukraina untuk membayar barang atau jasa dianggap ilegal. Dalam penelitian ini metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif, metode ini digunakan untuk menganalisis bagaimana sistem hukum bereaksi terhadap suatu masalah baru yang belum diatur oleh peraturan perundang-undangan atau preseden yang sistemik dan komprehensif, dalam hal ini mata uang kripto. Metode penelitian hukum normatif didasarkan pada paradigma post-positivisme. Hasil riset secara umum menemukan bahwa mata uang kripto adalah antitesis dari kapital uang. Pertama, bahwa cryptocurrency dinetralkan oleh pihak ketiga yang dikeluarkan dari sistem global pelaku ekonomi. Kedua, sebagai alat tukar, mata uang kripto menentang uang fiat. Terlepas dari kurangnya situasi material (nilai guna), penerbitan mata uang kripto tidak dikendalikan oleh peminjaman cadangan fraksional, sehingga pada akhirnya mengurangi persyaratan mendasar kapitalisme untuk terus tumbuh.

Bitcoin is a cryptographic-based digital commodity, also known as virtual currency or digital currency, which is used as a means of transactions and investments. In Indonesia the use of bitcoin is not merely a matter of technology, but has entered the realm of fiqh. An interesting phenomenon related to this is the response of several Islamic organizations and also study forums at Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia in addressing the bitcoin issue. Among them is Bahtsul Masail, the Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Manager (PWNU) in East Java in 2018. According to Bahtsul Masail's decision on the fiqh view of the use of bitcoin as a transaction and investment tool, it is legal, and may be used for muamalah. This is different from the results of the bahtsul masail in Ma'had Aly Hasyim Asy'ari Tebuireng Jombang, that bitcoin is classified as a virtual asset like dain (accounts receivable). And can be used as a legal transaction tool. But if bitcoin is used as an investment tool then the law is haram because the bitcoin exchange rate is very volatile. Based on this background, a problem arises, namely how to analyze the decision of Bahtsul Masail Ma'had Aly Hasyim Asy'ari about bitcoin and use what method to view bitcoin. The type of research used is library research. Using a normative legal approach (doctrinal), then the research is presented using descriptive techniques. In bahtsul masail using the ijtihad jama'i and ijtihad tatbiqi methods, in bahtsul masail using the term ilhaq, based on evidence, that bitcoin is equated with speculation (gambling), it is illegal.

Sumber data diambil melalui Sumber data primer berupa Buku, Arsip, dan Literatur lainnya.Cryptocurrency dapat digunakan sebagai alat pembayaran, Investasi, maupun Trading. Beberapa jenis Cryptocurrency selain Bitcoin juga banyak digunakan. Pro dan kontra di masyarakat terjadi akibat perbedaan pendapat mengenai Cryptocurrency. Karena belum ada legalitas mengenai Cryptocurrency sebagai alat pembayaran maupun mata uang yang diakui di Indonesia. Harganya yang Fluktuatif serta keamanannya yang masih terdapat cela membuat perdebatan mengenai Cryptocurrency seperti pada Bitcoin belum mencapai titik terang. Dalam Perspektif hukum islam, sebagian Ulama berpendapat bahwa bentuk mata uang digital ini tidak mempunyai kejelasan dan tidak dapat dilihat fisiknya memungkinkan terjadinya penipuan menjadikan Cryptocurrency mengandung unsur Gharar. Kemudian penggunaan Cryptocurrency dalam Investasi maupun Trading menjadikannya tidak lepas dari spekulasi mengenai harganya yang sangat Fluktuatif dan hanya digunakan sebagai alat untung rugi maka Cryptocurrency mengandung unsur Maysir. Karena urgensi mata uang Kripto ini sangat luas terutama dalam cakupan teknologi dan ekonomi, diharapkan skripsi ini juga dapat menjadi referensi untuk perkembangan Cryptocurrency di masa yang akan datang.Keywords: Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, Hukum Islam.
