Abstract

This study investigates the transformative potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing cross-border payments, digital currency development, and mitigating financial risks within the financial sector. The study emphasizes the importance of this technology in addressing the inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities inherent in traditional financial systems, highlighting its significant pivotal role in the academic field of financial technology and blockchain research. To delve into these issues, this study conducted a comprehensive literature review of the latest research results, conducted case studies on the application of blockchain in financial institutions, and compared and analyzed traditional payment systems and blockchain-based payment systems. In addition, the study also utilizes model analysis to understand the influence of blockchain on financial risk administration and the growth patterns of digital currencies like Bitcoin. The research results indicate that blockchain technology greatly improves the security, productivity, and transparency of payments made across borders by decreasing the need for intermediaries and related expenses. Furthermore, the blockchain system facilitates the creation of digital currencies, providing a stable and secure framework. In addition, the Integration of blockchain with financial management processes emerges as a feasible solution to reduce various financial risks, providing a more efficient and secure framework for financial businesses. The results of this study indicate that blockchain technology can serve as a fundamental element for future financial transactions, digital currencies, and risk management, making the financial industry more transparent, secure, and efficient, potentially changing the industry.
