Introduction
Blockchain-based assets have gained maturity over the last few years and are integrating into mainstream finance. The potential of digital assets and their use within smart-contract ecosystems have been understood by major market players. While blockchain-based assets remain an innovative niche, the secret is out and the world is preparing for a shift to digitize existing real world assets. The digitalization of assets will provoke disruptive change and bring a new paradigm for innovation, regulation and trade. This course navigates between the disruptive and complementary nature of digital assets and how they will affect the “real” economy. Participants will gain an understanding of the dynamics of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and its applications for both government and private organizations. At the end of the course, participants will be able to lead conversations and guide choices needed to ensure their organization is ready to embrace digital assets.
