New Blockchain Masterclass for Banking and Finance!

Dear readers,

last December I launched the on-demand course called Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Fundamentals. Subscribers to The New Frontier have free access to this 3.5h-long program that usually costs $99. So if you haven’t viewed the course yet, you can do so by following the secret link you received either when registering to the newsletter or in the December edition.

I am grateful for your positive feedback over the last months, but also i was overwhelmed by your frequently expressed need to have a specific course on blockchain for financial services. Especially those of you that already have a basic understanding of blockchains and distributed ledgers seek to understand better how it would impact banking. In particular, you were interested whether there are some real-life use cases of incumbents actually applying the new technology. This is why I have created the brand-new 4.5h-long Blockchain Masterclass for Banking and Finance. It is now available on udemy.

By the end of the course, you will be able to recognize where and how blockchain and smart contracts can be applied in the financial sector.
