Digital Assets & Cryptocurrencies: Latest Applications and Innovation
A Six-hour, Online Program

Date:  27th & 28th September 2021

COURSE TOPICS & LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The proliferation and rapid evolution of cryptocurrencies and digital assets represents one of the foremost innovations of our time. However, if for you, these products prompt more questions than answers, then you are not alone. What are cryptocurrencies and what are they not? How are cryptocurrencies stored, exchanged and traded? How can we effectively address and regulate the risk of these activities? Aside from cryptocurrencies, what are other digital assets such as tokens, and how are they being applied to today’s banking and financial markets? What do terms such as non-fungible tokens and initial coin offerings mean? And what is the potential for the development of structured products based on cryptocurrencies and other digital assets?

This two-part, six-hour online course will examine the rapidly changing world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets, as well as the important technology they are built on. The program will explore the uses of these tools, as well as their likely evolution in terms of product development and will seek to answer the questions above, as well as many more.

Previously, as Engineering Manager of the Accounts team, Matthew led a team of 10 engineers to build a white-label payments and merchant loyalty product that resulted in a strategic investment by Visa.
