 Son zamanlarda blok zinciri teknolojisinin öneminin artması insanları bu yönde araştırma yapmaya itmiştir. Blok zinciri teknolojisinin hemen hemen tüm sektörlere entegre edilmesiyle finans ve muhasebe alanında pek çok yenilikler yaşanmıştır. Blok zinciri teknolojisinin getirdiği yeniliklerden birisi de kripto paralardır. Kripto para piyasasının yeni bir yapı olması nedeniyle çeşitli güvenlik sorunlarını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Gerek güvenlik açıkları, gerek kodlarda meydana gelecek olan problemler ve henüz çok fazla uzmanın olmaması risklerin doğmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu da kriptopara yatırımcılarının kararları açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada blok zinciri teknolojisi altındaki kripto para piyasalarındaki güvenlik sorunlarının yatırımcı davranışları üzerindeki etkisini ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada öncelikle blokzinciri, kriptoparalar ve bualanlardaki güvenlik sorunları kavramsal olarak sunulmuş ve daha sonra konuya ilişkin literatür taraması sunulmuştur. Takip eden bölümde çalışma amacı kapsamında geleceğin potansiyel finansal danışmanları olan üniversitelerde muhasebe dersi alan 154 öğrenci üzerinde anket uygulanarak veri toplanmıştır. Çalışmada veriler SPSS 22.0 programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda yatırımcı davranışı ile cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, dolandırıcılık olayları hakkında bilgi, yatırımcı davranışı, yatırım karakteri ve yatırım yeteneği arasında anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir.
