ABSTRACT: This paper uses CiteSpace software to conduct a visual analysis of 664 literature data on the research of fintech-enabled supply chain finance in CNKI from 2015 to 2025, covering aspects such as publication volume, authors, institutions, co-occurrence of keywords, and clustering. The results show that the publication volume of research in the fintech-enabled supply chain finance field has been fluctuating upward each year; a group of relatively active representative authors has emerged, but the cooperation among institutions is relatively weak; the current research focus in the supply chain finance field under the background of fintech mainly concentrates on blockchain, big data, risk management, digital transformation, and agricultural supply chain finance. The research in this field mainly focuses on the practical value of fintech empowerment, but the depth of research on the empowerment path of fintech and the risk transmission path in practice is insufficient. In the future, it is possible to conduct in-depth research on the empowerment path of fintech in supply chain finance, expand different scenarios of fintech empowerment and risk transmission. For example, how to use fintech to coordinate the interest distribution and incentive issues among different subjects in supply chain finance, and how to improve risk identification and credit-granting efficiency through data.
