چکیده

This study examines the impact of blockchain technology on the banking industry and identifies the indicators and applications of this technology using the meta-synthesis method. The findings include 28 indicators: preventing fraud, reducing banking costs, ensuring security and transparency, identity management, and strengthening the capital market. The results show that blockchain can facilitate domestic and international transactions and increase the productivity of the Iranian banking system. The research method is qualitative and applied, and a seven-step meta-synthesis process was used in data analysis. This study provides a valuable tool for banking planners by identifying key indicators. There are limitations, such as generalizability to other organizations and using the meta-synthesis method. Still, the research is valuable regarding innovation in theoretical foundations and methodology and can guide the development of blockchain technology in banking.
