Резюме:

The financial sector is shifting from centralised intermediation towards decentralised architectures enabled by blockchain and smart contracts. This paper examines their impact on financial intermediation, using Germany as a case study. Combining theoretical analysis with empirical evidence, it identifies a transition from an early focus on payment efficiency to a broader trust-based infrastructure centred on tokenisation, identity management, and interoperable data exchange. The findings show important operational benefits, including faster settlement and lower transaction costs, but also reveal a persistent German adoption gap: high strategic recognition of blockchain coexists with limited operational deployment. The study further identifies major barriers, including software vulnerabilities, oracle dependence, and jurisdictional uncertainty. It concludes that blockchain-based finance requires a hybrid governance model that combines technological automation with legal certainty, regulatory oversight, and institutional trust.
