Keywords: Cryptographic Technologies, Investment Services, Financial Innovations, Blockchain

Abstract

In today’s rapidly evolving technological world, cryptographic technologies, including blockchain and smart contracts, significantly impact various sectors of the economy, including investment services. This article explores the impact of cryptographic technologies on the investment services market in Ukraine, analyzing international experiences and potential applications in the Ukrainian context.

The main objective of the study is to develop practical recommendations for optimizing investment services through cryptographic technologies, as well as identifying key advantages and risks associated with their implementation. The article covers an analysis of the current state of the market, examines potential innovations that can be implemented, and develops strategic directions for regulating this sector.

The analytical approach employed in the article includes a SWOT analysis, which identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the market, as well as opportunities and threats related to the use of cryptographic technologies in investment services. The study found that implementing blockchain can significantly increase transparency and security of investments, reduce servicing costs, and increase transaction speed.

Tasks set before the research include analyzing the potential of blockchain and smart contract technologies to attract new investments, exploring opportunities to reduce risks in the market through greater standardization and implementation of cryptographic security. The research results indicate that cryptographic technologies can play a key role in modernizing Ukraine’s financial industry, providing a higher level of trust and accessibility for investors.

The conclusions presented in the article emphasize the need to expand state support for innovation and create a favorable regulatory environment that allows Ukraine to leverage cutting-edge technological advancements to strengthen its economy and enhance its competitiveness internationally. It’s also important to strengthen educational programs to prepare professionals capable of implementing these technologies in the everyday practice of investment services.
