“…'FinTech' is a developing domain in the finance industry, which has been defined as a union of finance and information technology (Zavolokina et al 2016). Marrara et al (2019) examined how FinTech relates to Italian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), where FinTech has witnessed huge growth in terms of investment and development, and how it has proved fruitful for the SME market in a short amount of time. FinTech has popularised the use of data in the financial industry.…”

Text-mining technologies have substantially affected financial industries. As the data in every sector of finance have grown immensely, text mining has emerged as an important field of research in the domain of finance. Therefore, reviewing the recent literature on text-mining applications in finance can be useful for identifying areas for further research. This paper focuses on the text-mining literature related to financial forecasting, banking, and corporate finance. It also analyses the existing literature on text mining in financial applications and provides a summary of some recent studies. Finally, the paper briefly discusses various text-mining methods being applied in the financial domain, the challenges faced in these applications, and the future scope of text mining in finance.

Blockchain has become a widely used information system technology recently because of its effectiveness as an intermediary-free platform. While the use of blockchain in various fields, such as finance, supply chains, healthcare, education, and energy consumption, is increasingly enabling the development of Internet-enabled “distributed databases,” there are not many exploratory studies available to provide an understanding of how the field is progressing. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the status quo of blockchain technology in the finance sector, particularly highlighting how blockchain architectures can aid the finance sector to gain competitive advantage. This systematic literature review analyzes the content of the 50 most relevant articles and professional industry reports through peer-reviewed relevant academic literature in the finance sector from 2008 to 2022 to identify several possible features of blockchain research in the financial sector. This study highlighted the dimensions of blockchain technology, blockchain in finance, its competitive advantages, the current status of finance, and various challenges that keep the implementation of blockchain-based financial information systems at the initial stage. We identified three main areas that require research attention in order for blockchain technology to become the “next-generation networks” that will revolutionize the financial sector.

BackgroundBlockchain technology has gained a great public interest due to the appearance of cryptocurrencies, a digital asset used for exchanging funds. Although blockchain calculations offer the benefits of security and reduced costs, blockchain is still strongly criticised for its lack of usefulness and resource-heavy consumption.ObjectivesThe aim of this research is to provide different insights into blockchain technology and to propose NP-complete problems as a suitable alternative to the current consensus algorithm.Methods/approachThis research discusses the current state of proposed alternatives, projects such as distributed volunteering for scientific purposes and different consensus algorithms within cryptocurrencies but focusing on incorporating NP-complete problems as a secondary, more useful option.ResultsUsing the properties of NP-complete problems, it is possible to solve various problems in different areas, such as science, biology, medicine and finance, but also to improve business processes, optimize markets, payments and supply chains while decreasing environmental costs.ConclusionsThis paper shows that the alternative mechanisms are being developed and used to substitute an existing Blockchain algorithm with a more efficient one. It also suggests further investigation in this area because the alternatives greatly improve blockchain’s usability and efficiency.
