Kursinhalt
This course studies technology-driven innovations in the financial sector; including the blockchain and cryptocurrencies, digital advisory and trading systems, peer-to-peer lending, crowdfunding and mobile payment systems. Such innovations can potentially disrupt existing industry structures, reshape their boundaries, and change the way firms create and deliver products and services. At the same time, they create privacy, regulatory and law-enforcement challenges. We study these issues in a format, which combines lectures, case studies, and experts from the industry.
Introduction: Financial Systems, Money, and Blockchain
Emergence of Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies
Smart Contracts, Ethereum, and the DAO
