4. Because the digital currency, which is the first generation of blockchain technology, has a huge impact on the financial field, the research and application of blockchain technology has become an important task in today's financial field. In essence, blockchain technology still belongs to a kind of technical means and tools. Its application in the financial field and the real economy is parallel. It has its own relative independence, but it also has a certain degree of intersection. That is to say, its role in promoting the real economy is indirect. 1. No matter in finance or entity, one of the bases of transaction between supply and demand is trust. The current bank to enterprise, enterprise to enterprise and enterprise to person are all linked by money. With the further popularization and wide application of blockchain technology, enterprises and enterprises, or indivials can issue digital currency (Digital credit) by themselves in the future, and the status of banks will change from monopoly operation to equal competition operation in the market. Therefore, the wide application of blockchain technology in the financial field has an indirect impact on the real economy. 2. Blockchain technology is the bridge between reality (entity) and virtual world. Through blockchain technology, the real world can be reconstructed, reconstructed and redefined in the virtual world. For example, the digital currency of real paper money in the virtual world, the digital stock transaction of real stock transaction in the virtual world, the digital settlement, digital customs clearance, digital documents and bills of real import and export trade in the virtual world can greatly improve the efficiency of business process and save the transaction cost. At present, all transactions are inseparable from the bank. The bank plays a central role in the transaction. The application of blockchain technology by the bank will certainly improve the efficiency of its settlement and indirectly promote the efficiency of the real economy, but this impact will graally weaken in the future. Because the biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, its distributed accounting system is a network system without center. 3. In fact, the application of blockchain technology is to value and credit the information flowing on the Internet. Through the blockchain, the information with (use value, exchange value, cultural value) in the Internet is reorganized and newly constructed to form a value Internet. It is of great significance. It will bring revolutionary promotion to both the financial instry and the real economy.
