Statistical Analysis of Digital Financial Technology Adoption Research

Digital financial technology adoption (DFTA) studies published in Scopus between 2019 and 2022 were examined in this study. After that, we assessed relevant literature, did bibliometric studies, and examined publication and citation patterns. The statistics showed 2643 citations and 176 publications. DFTA research has gained popularity when time-varying TP and TC values increased gradually. This topic's most popular sources are "articles" and "Sustainability (Switzerland)". A search of DFTA research stakeholders revealed several authors, organizations, and nations. Most famously associated with the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, David Mhlanga has produced more publications than anyone else. The National Natural Science Foundation and other Chinese donors who dominate DFTA research funding contributed to researchers' and affiliations' output. Cluster and hotspot analysis revealed two themes, "Digital financial technology adoption" and "Sustainable Banking Inclusion," and three keywords, Digital financial technology adoption, monetary inclusion, and finance. According to the examined literature, DFTA's effects on international financial stability and GDP growth are understudied. Future research should examine DFTA's environmental impact, long-term profitability, and commercial strategies for low-income and rural communities.
