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

Date:  15th & 16th June 2022

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.

EXPERT COURSE DIRECTOR


Matthew Martin 
Founder & CEO, Blossom Finance

Matthew is Founder and CEO of Blossom Finance—a blockchain-based Sukuk platform for social impact investing. Matthew has been an early pioneer in the application of FinTech for Islamic finance with a background including both engineering and product management experience in the digital wallet, payment card, money remittance, mobile payments, and mobile banking sectors at venture capital funded tech startups Xoom, Boku, and Monitise.

Matthew has advised policy makers at central banks and financial services regulators on blockchain technology and has spoken as an educator to international audiences in Bahrain, Indonesia, Malaysia, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, UAE, and the USA. Prior to Blossom, Matthew started his first blockchain related venture in 2013 - back when Bitcoin was less than $100 USD - which allowed instant purchase of Bitcoin in 27 countries using just a mobile phone. At Monitise, Matthew led the team that pioneered one of the world’s first in-mobile NFC payment product for banks, and fully owned the entire delivery of that solution from technology through to commercial agreements. Prior to that, Matthew was the product architect and team lead for Monitise’s flagship iOS and Android white-label mobile banking platform, which grew to the market leading solution for the US consumer banking market. Under Matthew’s leadership, the team delivered a new platform and architecture that dramatically reduced the overall delivery time of client solutions and reduced ongoing cost of ownership while maintaining a broad range of features and customization capabilities. At Boku, Matthew was product owner of Boku Accounts: in-person payments using the world’s first Visa PayWave™ NFC sticker. 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. Before leading the Accounts team, Matthew delivered various proof-of-concepts instrumental in landing key clients such as Disney and Facebook. At Xoom, Matthew evangelized User Experience and User-Centered Design, and championed the first push into mobile; he helped design and run Xoom’s first ever user study. Prior to financial tech, Matthew worked in consumer electronics as a Software Engineer at Logitech as part of their Streaming Media Business Unit and at Benchmark Media Systems as a Software Engineer. Matthew has studied 8 languages and speaks Indonesian, Farsi, and French at an intermediate level in addition to his native English. Matthew embraced Islam in 2010 and currently lives in Jakarta, Indonesia.
