Blok Zincir Teknolojisi ve Dış Ticaret Ödeme Yöntemlerinin Dönüşümü

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, blok zinciri teknolojisinin ticaretin dönüşümü üzerindeki etkilerini tedarik zinciri yönetimi, dış ticaret ve dış ticaret ödeme yöntemleri bağlamında incelemektir. Yöntem olarak, öncelikle blok zinciri teknolojisi ile dış ticaret arasındaki etkileşimi inceleyen literatür taraması yapılmıştır ve ardından daha önce tecrübe edinilmiş çeşitli dış ticaret ödeme yöntemlerinin vaka analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışma, öncelikle blok zinciri teknolojisinin tedarik zinciri yönetimine entegrasyonunun şeffaflık, işlem hızı ve güvenilirlik açısından önemli faydalar sağladığını, ancak bu faydaların tam olarak elde edilebilmesi için paydaşlar arası iş birliği ve hukuki düzenlemelerin geliştirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. İkinci olarak, blok zincirin dış ticaretin dijitalleşmesine katkısı ele alınmış, özellikle gümrük işlemlerinde kağıtsız süreçlere ve operasyonel risklerin azaltılmasına dikkat çekilmiştir. Son olarak, blok zincirin dış ticaret ödeme yöntemi olarak kullanıldığı uygulamalara değinilmiş ve blok zinciri tabanlı akreditiflerin teknolojik katkıları ortaya konmuştur.

Blockchain Technology and the Transformation of Foreign Trade Payment Methods

Öz

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of blockchain technology on trade transformation in the context of supply chain management, foreign trade and international trade payment methods. As a methodology, first, a literature review on the interaction between blockchain technology and foreign trade is conducted, followed by a case study of various foreign trade payment methods that have been previously experienced. The study first emphasizes that the integration of blockchain technology into supply chain management provides significant benefits in terms of transparency, transaction speed and reliability, but that inter-stakeholder cooperation and legal regulations need to be improved in order to fully realize these benefits. Secondly, the contribution of blockchain to the digitalization of foreign trade is discussed, with particular attention drawn to paperless processes in customs procedures and the reduction of operational risks. Finally, applications where blockchain is used as a foreign trade payment method are discussed and the technological contributions of blockchain-based letters of credit are revealed.
