Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent advancement of blockchain technology and digital innovations has become a driving force for the transformation and development of the global financial system. In a relatively short period, the emergence of a new generation of financial technology (Fintech) has greatly impacted financial markets, investments and asset management, while changing traditional practices and the future of finance. The use of financial technology has especially been pivotal during the current COVID-19 pandemic in unlocking new sources of financing, as well as developing a platform for business organizations to interact with stakeholders and other businesses.
This Special Issue invites researchers to present their creative thoughts and outstanding works on blockchain technology, digital currencies, cryptocurrency markets, innovative investment portfolios and sustainability-driven financing. The Special Issue will mainly focus on theoretical analyses and empirical explorations of the synergy between finance and technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The use of artificial intelligence in robo-advising and the development of stock trading apps;
- The impact of Fintech on the finance profession;
- Cryptocurrency as an alternative investment;
- Digital payment systems and buy now, pay later services;
- Crowdfunding platforms;
- Peer-to-peer lending;
- Digital banking and the future of banking systems;
- Mobile payment technology;
- The use of blockchain technology in building financial market infrastructure;
- Green finance and sustainable development;
