Blockchain technology, originally developed for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, is becoming a key factor in future financial and industrial management. This paper explores its potential for the transformation of these sectors through analysis of current research and projections of future trends. Blockchain is characterized by features such as decentralization, transparency, and security, which can significantly improve efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and improve data accuracy. In the financial sector, the technology enables the development of new digital assets, smart contracts, and decentralized applications, while in the industrial sector, it can improve logistics, supply chain tracking, and resource management. The paper also discusses the challenges in blockchain implementation, including technical, regulatory, and operational aspects. Through analysis and recommendations, the paper provides insight into how blockchain can shape the future of management and contribute to global economic and industrial changes.
