Traditional finance is defined by strict regulations, fixed, well-defined roles, and processes that have conceptually stayed unchanged for decades. Blockchain technology promises to shift the organizational paradigm by enabling peer-to-peer, borderless interactions. It gives rise to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, which may simplify processes, remove friction, reach new users and customers, and create new business opportunities.
The Rotman Blockchain and Decentralized Finance professional certificate program from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto examines which traditional financial services and products these financial technologies are set to offer the most benefits. You’ll also explore opportunities and assess the potential risks of managing and integrating blockchain into your business.
This program includes courses covering topics such as crypto-wallets, digital money, stablecoins, and oracles. Throughout the program, you’ll also learn to navigate the modern finance landscape and transition from traditional to future-focused financial applications and services.
