FINA 5920: Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, and Their Business Applications
This course discusses cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and the multidimensional business applications of blockchain technology. The first part of the course explains the history of blockchain technology, the technical details and trading mechanisms of cryptocurrencies, and their recent developments. Although technical, this part is essential to establish a foundation to understand cryptocurrencies and blockchain. The rest of the course draws real-world applications of blockchain technology. Enterprise blockchain, smart contracts, and initial coin offerings (ICOs) will be explained, and their valuation methods discussed. Finally, the course will also briefly cover the current regulation landscape, tax implications, and other challenges that cryptocurrencies face. The goal of the course is to provide students with a basic set of skills to understand the hype about cryptocurrencies, and more importantly, its underlying technology, and to envision a future of blockchain with or without cryptocurrencies.
