Overview

description

  • Recent years have been major ones for cryptocurrencies, but the typical investor�s understanding of cryptocurrencies� distinctions is limited. In addition to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, this course introduces students to fundraising mechanisms like ICOs and NFTs, the stance of cryptocurrency regulators, and promising blockchain business applications. Given the growing salience and market capitalization of cryptocurrencies, better understanding these digital units of account and their underlying technology is an increasingly valuable skillset for many private sector roles.
