Blockchain is a buzzword today, and its application is daily increasing. Recently, literature has proposed the new concept of the Internet of Value (IoV), which refers to a view of the Internet as a means where value is transferred as easily, cheaply and reliably as data is now transferred. The ever-growing interest in Blockchain research and practice has given rise to disorganized knowledge around its application, especially for business purposes. To qualitatively assess this gap, we conducted a literature review by investigating a final number of 169 original contributions produced in the last half-decade. The insights have been analysed and systematized considering the possible contribution of the Blockchain application to the Internet of Value, to shed light on Blockchain opportunities in business value creation regarding five basic topics: Blockchain exploitation in the energy sector; Blockchain exploitation in healthcare; Blockchain exploitation in supply chain management (SCM); Blockchain exploitation in industrial marketing; and Blockchain exploitation in data privacy protection.

区块链是当今的流行语，其应用每天都在增加。最近，文献提出了价值互联网 (IoV) 的新概念，它指的是互联网作为一种手段，价值的转移与现在的数据转移一样容易、廉价和可靠。对区块链研究和实践的日益增长的兴趣导致了围绕其应用的杂乱无章的知识，特别是出于商业目的。为了定性地评估这一差距，我们通过调查过去五年中产生的 169 份原始贡献的最终数量进行了文献回顾。考虑到区块链应用对价值互联网的可能贡献，对这些见解进行了分析和系统化，以阐明区块链在五个基本主题方面创造商业价值的机会：能源领域的区块链开发；医疗保健中的区块链开发；供应链管理（SCM）中的区块链开发；工业营销中的区块链开发；数据隐私保护中的区块链开发。
