This study investigates the impact of environmental uncertainty on the digital transformation of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2022. Our empirical analysis reveals that environmental uncertainty negatively affects digital transformation by inducing managerial myopia, hindering research and development (R&D) investment, and exacerbating financial constraints. However, these negative effects can be mitigated by increasing management shareholding, which aligns managers’ interests with long-term goals, providing digital transformation subsidies to lower financial barriers, and fostering a favorable legal environment to protect digital investments and innovation. These findings offer valuable insights for understanding how environmental uncertainty influences digital transformation strategies and provide practical implications for enterprises and policymakers in dynamic business environments.

The global digital coin market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies as an investment asset and a means of payment. While precise figures for market size and CAGR are not provided, considering the substantial growth observed in recent years, a reasonable estimation for the 2025 market size could be in the range of $2 trillion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projected between 15% and 20% for the forecast period (2025-2033). This growth is fueled by several key factors: increasing institutional investment, the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, the expansion of blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrencies, and the growing awareness and acceptance of digital assets among retail investors. Technological advancements, such as layer-2 scaling solutions and improved interoperability between different blockchain networks, further contribute to the market's expansion. However, the market also faces challenges. Regulatory uncertainty across different jurisdictions remains a significant restraint, as governments grapple with the implications of cryptocurrencies for financial stability and money laundering. Price volatility, inherent in the nature of digital assets, continues to deter some investors. Furthermore, environmental concerns surrounding the energy consumption of certain blockchain networks present a hurdle to broader adoption. The market is segmented by type (Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, etc.) and application (investment, payments, DeFi), with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and Dogecoin currently holding significant market share. Geographical distribution sees North America and Asia-Pacific as key regions driving market expansion, with Europe and other regions showing increasing participation. The market's future trajectory will depend on the resolution of regulatory uncertainty, technological advancements, and the continued maturation of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

This dataset was originally created in 2015 as a part of a stocktaking exercise initiated by the Integrated Digital Solutions (IDS) Group to present an inventory of all WBG investments including large ICT/e-Gov components for various sector reforms since 1995. The dataset includes the details of ICT investments in seven categories, and their mapping to four GovTech focus areas, together with the cost, duration, and outcome ratings of completed activities, in addition to key project data extracted from the WBG operations portal. The first version of the “DG Projects Database” including 1,100+ projects funded in 130+ countries was released publicly within the WBG Data Catalog in June 2015. There were several updates on the dataset since then (Aug 2017, Dec 2019, Jan 2020, and Jul 2020). The latest version (October 2022) presents the details of 1,449 projects funded in 147 countries. This dataset can be used by all practitoners involved in the design of digital government/GovTech activities to learn from relevant investments, search the contents of project documents (PAD, ICR, IEG review), and expand/customize the resulting data sets for various needs (operational support, project design, research, monitoring and quality assurance, training, etc.).

Thirdly, stringent regulatory frameworks globally are pushing financial institutions to outsource custody functions to specialized providers to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. Segmentation reveals a significant market share held by securities fund custody, driven by the sheer volume of traditional assets under management. However, the fastest-growing segment is predicted to be digital asset custody, reflecting the rapid expansion of the cryptocurrency market and related investments. Major players like BNY Mellon, State Street, and Citibank dominate the market, leveraging their established infrastructure and expertise. However, new entrants specializing in digital asset custody are emerging, challenging the traditional players and fostering innovation within the industry. The geographic distribution of the market shows a concentration in North America and Europe, reflecting the maturity of these regions' financial markets.
