| Abstract: |
This chapter covers the potential uses of blockchain from accounting, legal, and financial perspectives, provides a brief review of smart contracts and includes a high-level summary of classifiers and risk scoring methodologies. We have used the example of disintermediation in peer-to-peer (P2P) online lending as a case study. We identify three main areas in which blockchain as a service can provide advantages: blockchain-based creditworthiness assessments, real-time accounting, and historical datakeeping. Finally, we estimate that the funding of P2P platforms will increase from a recent USD 100 billion to USD 150 billion by 2025. |
