Abstract Blockchain technology has emerged as one of the most transformative innovations in recent decades, especially within the financial sector. Its decentralized, transparent, and secure framework offers significant potential to reshape financial markets. This paper explores the multifaceted impact of blockchain on global financial markets, examining both opportunities such as enhanced transparency, efficiency, and disintermediation and challenges including regulatory uncertainty, scalability, and integration complexities. Through a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis, this study highlights the disruptive power of blockchain, its implications for key market actors, and potential pathways for smoother adoption. Findings suggest that while blockchain promises considerable benefits for financial markets, its adoption must be accompanied by robust governance frameworks, technological innovation, and stakeholder collaboration
