About this course

Skip About this course

Blockchain is a transformative digital value management tool that operates without the need for a trusted intermediary, such as a custodian, to authorize asset usage and transfers. It enables seamless peer-to-peer value transfers, facilitates borderless transactions, and automates processes, effectively becoming the internet of value. This segment will explain how blockchain operates and draw a contrast with the traditional world of finance.
