In response to the transformative impact of blockchain technology on economic and financial landscapes, there is a critical need for a review study that analyses the knowledge landscape from diverse perspectives.
This research VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix to undertake a bibliometric analysis of the expanding literature related to blockchain technology within the financial sector. Through a examination of 500 published articles, the study identifies insightful trends, patterns, and emerging domains on a global scale.
The findings highlight the advancing trajectory of blockchain research in finance, with a notable concentration of studies originating from the United States and China, both in terms of total publications and citations. Key thematic clusters identified include "smart contracts," "financial institutions," "initial coin offerings," and "big data analytics." Intersections with financial risk management, digital transformation, and the integration of big data analytics with artificial intelligence and machine learning are particularly noteworthy, marking focal points of exploration.
While affirming the potential of blockchain, the analysis also sheds light on persistent impediments hindering its widespread adoption and utilization. This study not only contributes to the current understanding of blockchain in finance but also serves as a valuable resource for future researchers. It guides systematic reviews by pinpointing prominent journals and influential authors within the dynamic field of blockchain finance, thereby fostering a deeper understanding and facilitating further exploration in this evolving field.
鉴于区块链技术对经济和金融格局产生的变革性影响，迫切需要进行一项综述研究，从不同角度分析知识格局。
本研究使用VOSviewer和Bibliometrix对金融领域内与区块链技术相关的不断扩展的文献进行文献计量分析。通过对500篇已发表文章的研究，该研究在全球范围内识别出有见地的趋势、模式和新兴领域。
研究结果突出了区块链在金融领域研究的发展轨迹，就总出版物数量和引用次数而言，美国和中国的研究显著集中。确定的关键主题集群包括“智能合约”“金融机构”“首次代币发行”和“大数据分析”。与金融风险管理、数字转型以及大数据分析与人工智能和机器学习的整合尤其值得注意，标志着探索的焦点。
在肯定区块链潜力的同时，该分析也揭示了阻碍其广泛采用和利用的持续障碍。本研究不仅有助于当前对区块链在金融领域的理解，也为未来研究人员提供了宝贵资源。它通过在动态的区块链金融领域确定著名期刊和有影响力的作者来指导系统综述，从而促进对这一不断发展领域的更深入理解并便于进一步探索。
