Purpose – This study examines the academic evolution of cryptocurrencies, meme coins, and emerging tokensthrough the lens of sustainability reporting (SR) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the crypto ecosystemexpands, distinguishing asset types and their alignment with global sustainability efforts becomes essential for scholars,regulators, and investors seeking to promote transparent, ethical, and resilient digital finance systems.Design/methods/approach – The study adopts a quantitative bibliometric analysis method using secondary data extractedfrom the Dimensions database. A total of 500 publications from 2016 to 2025 were screened, with 60 eligible articlesselected for in-depth analysis. Data were processed using RStudio with Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny packages. Theanalysis included performance metrics, trend mapping, co-occurrence network analysis, and citation assessment toevaluate scholarly contributions and thematic development.Findings – The results highlight a rapid increase in scholarly attention on crypto-related sustainability topics, particularlyfrom 2020 to 2023. Three primary thematic clusters emerged: trust and decentralization, speculative behavior andcommunity-driven meme coins, and the governance implications of digital assets. The study finds that blockchainassets exhibit both opportunities and risks in advancing SDG objectives. While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin promotedecentralization and transparency, meme coins often reflect volatility and unsustainable hype cycles. The emergenceof decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and crypto disclosure practices mimicking SR frameworks indicateconvergence between blockchain governance and sustainability reporting norms.Research implications/limitations – The findings are limited to English-language publications and a specific database,which may exclude relevant global contributions. Nonetheless, this study opens new directions for integrating SR andSDG principles into decentralized financial systems and highlights the need for regulatory alignment, trust metrics, anddata transparency in crypto ecosystems.Originality/value – This study contributes to the growing intersection of digital finance and sustainability by classifyingthe crypto asset spectrum and identifying how each type aligns with ethical innovation and SDG integration. It proposesa research agenda focused on decentralized governance, trust-based transparency, and the use of blockchain forresponsible financial development.
