• LGST6440 - Blockchain & Cryptocurrencies

  This course explores how blockchain technology, digital assets, and FinTech are transforming global finance—and how regulators, courts, and innovators are responding. Students will gain a foundational understanding of key innovations including cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), DAOs, stablecoins, exchanges, staking, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and the tokenization of real-world assets. Emphasizing both legal frameworks and practical use cases, the course analyzes how regulatory uncertainty, enforcement actions, and global policy shifts are shaping the future of digital finance. Through case studies, guest speakers, and interactive discussions, students will critically evaluate the risks and opportunities these technologies present to businesses, investors, funds, and governments. No technical or crypto-specific background is required.
