Blockchain Transformations of Financial Services

The course offers a sector-focused overview, and its proposed applications should be assessed against current operational and regulatory conditions.

• Identify governance questions in a financial application.

Who this suits

Beginners interested in the role of blockchain within financial-service systems and business processes.

Before you enroll

Separate the technical curriculum from claims about asset prices or investment returns. Platforms, security practices and regulation change, so check the age of examples. Use a local development environment or test network for exercises involving transactions.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Map a fictional cross-border payment workflow and identify which proposed blockchain changes address an existing problem and which add complexity.
