Blockchain technology is emerging as an optimal solution to many of the challenges faced by SMEs such as access to trade financing, bank loans, and cash flow difficulties, among other issues. SMEs looking to expand their businesses in foreign lands can gain wider access to trade financing sources using BaaS as this technology is decentralized and cuts out middlemen from the process. The World Economic Forum (WEF) opines that blockchain technology could be instrumental in bridging the gap in trade financing around the world. Similar benefits can be reaped by SMEs in the context of supply chain processes. Thus, these potential advantages of blockchain for SMEs will provide a significant boost to the BaaS market growth in the coming years.

Heightened Vulnerability to Cyber Threats to Hamper Market Growth
The safety quotient of financial transactions has gotten considerably elevated since the advent of blockchain technology. Given its complex architecture, hacking into a blockchain-based system requires sophisticated computer skills and tools. Nonetheless, analysis by NASDAQ, one of the three stock indexes in the US, reveals that this technology is not bereft of vulnerabilities, originating primarily from the endpoints that use wallets to initiate transactions. These wallets become easy targets for hackers. For instance, a crypocurrency exchange platform, Ethereum Classic, was hacked in 2019, with the hacker rewriting the transaction history of the platform and stealing millions. During the same year, hackers stole around $40 million in Bitcoin transactions, exploiting the susceptibility of the same endpoint issue stated earlier. Thus, the constantly looming threat of cyber-attacks may prohibit the blockchain-as-a-service market growth during the forecast period.
