The blockchain technology market is projected to reach over USD 331.71 Billion by 2032, growing in leaps and bounds from a USD 26.75 Billion market in 2024. Driving this growth is blockchain’s potential to enhance security and transparency, and to streamline the documentation and verification process. This is of particular interest to traditional trade finance, which relies heavily on paper documents, manual reconciliation, and intermediaries, as the current process is slow and vulnerable to fraud, errors, and miscommunication. Blockchain offers a decentralized ledger that provides all parties with real-time access to a single, tamper-proof record, reducing the need for reconciliation and third-party validation.
