Investment:
Bank Members | $199 for first banker - $55 for additional bankers from same bank
Description:
Do you tense up when people use terms like blockchain and distributed ledger? Are you quietly bewildered by the idea that a single Bitcoin could be worth tens of thousands of dollars? Would you have trouble explaining the difference between the CDC and a CBDC? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, this session is for you. Join us for a non-technical (but fully financial) explanation of what digital currencies are, how they work, and what all the fuss is about.
Objectives:
This session will give bankers a basic understanding of cryptocurrency topics, including:
- Do cryptocurrencies really have value?
- What is Bitcoin?
- How do Bitcoin processing and mining work?
- What are some other popular digital currencies and how are they different from Bitcoin?
- What are stablecoins and how do they hold their value?
- What is the difference between a stablecoin and a tokenized deposit?
- What is a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and what would a U.S. version look like?
- What can I do to help my bank prepare for the proliferation of cryptocurrencies?
