Abstract [eng] This research paper explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology within the financial sector. Focused on addressing the lack of blockchain technology knowledge among finance professionals, the study delves into the foundational aspects of blockchain, its characteristics, its impact on the financial sector, and adoption challenges. Employing a comprehensive survey analysis of finance and technology professionals' opinions, the research combines both quantitative and qualitative insights. Highlighting the urgency for enhanced communication and education to bridge the knowledge gap, the research results note substantial blockchain technology knowledge gaps between technology and finance professionals. Recommendations advocate strategic investments in employee knowledge through targeted training, coupled with integrating blockchain into academic curricula for future finance professionals. The research contends that closing this cognitive gap holds the key to unlocking blockchain's transformative potential, fostering cost efficiency, heightened transparency, and the emergence of innovative business models within the financial industry.
