  • Module 1: Blockchain and Crypto
  • Module 2: Blockchain and Money (CBDC, Tokenized Bank Deposits, Stablecoin)
  • Module 3: Blockchain and Asset Tokenization

Module 1 starts with an introduction to Blockchain and Crypto. Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that is transforming the way we store, share and transact data. In this module, we aim to equip learners with the knowledge of blockchain, its applications and the role it can play in the banking industry.

Digital Money cuts across retail and wholesale banking. It is a fast-growing and innovative segment of the banking industry that aims to provide open and accessible financial services to anyone, anywhere. After going through Module 2, the learners will be better able to articulate the benefits of Digital Money and its role in the future of finance.

Tokenization, or non-fungible tokens, are unique and indivisible digital assets that can represent anything from securities to real estate to commodities. In Module 3, learners will be equipped to leverage the advantages of tokenization to improve operations, processes and business models.

As such, these modules intend to give a general introduction to blockchain, how it is changing money and asset tokenization in the economy.
