The study reveals that blockchain technology can effectively address long - standing issues such as information asymmetry and complex credit assessment in SME financing, presenting fresh perspectives and approaches. Additionally, through measures including regulatory system enhancement, technological innovation promotion, and talent cultivation, the sustainable development of blockchain - finance - empowered SME financing paths can be significantly advanced.
