Blockchain technology is rapidly reshaping the financial landscape in the United States,
offering improved security, transparency, and operational efficiency across banking, trade

applications have also increased banking accessibility, particularly in underserved areas,
supporting broader financial inclusion efforts. Furthermore, the convergence of blockchain
with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT),
and cloud computing has enabled real-time transaction monitoring, secure data sharing,
