Description
This paper examines the impact of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies on the execution of financial transactions, exploring their potential to revolutionize existing systems. Blockchain technology, known for its high transparency and security, has the capacity to eliminate intermediaries, reduce transaction costs, and increase the efficiency of financial markets. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are transforming the way payments and value transfers are conducted, offering more secure and faster alternatives compared to traditional banking systems. The paper also addresses key challenges associated with these technologies, including scalability issues, underdeveloped regulatory frameworks, and high energy demands. By analyzing the literature and real-world use cases, this research identifies the potential benefits and challenges of implementing blockchain and cryptocurrencies, as well as their long-term prospects for global financial systems.
