Course Overview
This blockchain course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to distributed ledger technology (DLT), cryptocurrencies and financial markets. Early in the course, we provide an overview of how blockchains work, which problems they can solve, and how blockchains can represent financial transactions. These early analyses also provide a foundation for understanding crypto-economics and financial markets.

The course builds on this foundation by taking a deep dive into cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin, Ethereum and other alt coins. Participants learn what makes these crytocurrencies different, how the underlying blockchain technology influences their value, and how to invest in cryptocurrencies.

We then take a close look at the broader financial market, including stocks, bonds, futures, and options. We explore the latest government regulations around cryptocurrencies in the financial market, how to develop investment strategies with both traditional and cryptocurrency financial products. The course, furthermore, teaches you about smart contracts, the software that powers Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

Learn how to make blockchain and financial markets part of your investment strategies and how to navigate the financial tools to manage them.
