This study addresses an important research gap by focusing on blockchain adoption among SMEs in Bangladesh’s supply chains, a context that has received limited attention in prior research. It synthesizes findings from Bangladesh and other developing economies using the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory to develop a context-sensitive blockchain adoption framework. The proposed framework highlights technological, organizational, environmental, and institutional factors relevant to Bangladeshi SMEs and provides a foundation for future empirical research and policy discussions.
