The rapid emergence of technology-enabled finance has reshaped global financial systems, creating new opportunities for growth, sustainability, and inclusion while introducing unprecedented risks and regulatory challenges. Financial innovation, ranging from blockchain applications and digital payments to green finance and risk analytics, has attracted increasing scholarly attention. Yet, despite the proliferation of case-based and empirical studies, there remains limited systematic understanding of how this knowledge domain has evolved and diffused globally. This article undertakes a scientometric study of technology-enabled finance to map its intellectual structure, thematic clusters, and international impact. Drawing upon a dataset of 456 influential publications indexed in leading academic databases, the study employs bibliometric software VosViewer to identify citation patterns, co-authorship networks, and thematic evolution across key subfields such as fintech, green finance, financial inclusion, systemic risk, and sustainable development. The findings reveal that while technology-enabled finance is inherently interdisciplinary, its scholarship converges around three dominant trajectories: (1) financial innovation as a driver of sustainability and green transition; (2) fintech as an enabler of financial inclusion and entrepreneurial growth; and (3) digitalization as a double-edged sword for systemic stability and risk management. The scientometric evidence highlights the global distribution of research contributions, with significant clusters in emerging markets that underscore the role of financial technology in fostering inclusive development. At the same time, the analysis underscores persistent gaps in regulatory governance, methodological integration, and the alignment of financial innovation with long- term sustainability goals. By providing a structured overview of the intellectual landscape, this study contributes to advancing theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented debates on the global impact of technology-enabled finance. The results are expected to guide future research, inform policy frameworks, and support the development of more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable financial systems worldwide.
