Course Description
In today’s time, cryptocurrency is of great importance due to its completely decentralized structure. This structure means that citizens living in countries with currency instability allow them to trade freely across borders with citizens of more well-off countries, creating economic equality. Although the cryptocurrency brought various benefits to the people, it also attracted the criminals, including the money launderers, terrorists, tax evaders, etc.
In recent years, various scandals and crimes have been reported in various parts of the world where criminals used cryptocurrencies to manipulate funds, transfer illegal money, or transfer the cryptocurrencies to terrorists. These incidents caused the regulators in different jurisdictions to develop the laws and regulations that govern the use, trade, and investment in cryptocurrencies, including tokens, coins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and various other digital currencies.
This certificate program is an advanced training with eight modules that will provide in-depth knowledge about different aspects of cryptocurrencies, including their structure, methodologies, forums, laws, regulations, financial crime risks, anti-financial crime programs, etc. It also includes blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, including coins, tokens, non-fungible tokens or NFTs, metaverse, etc. You will also learn about financial crime and money laundering risks associated with cryptocurrencies, red flags related to cryptocurrencies, and various other key concepts, including the anti-financial crime program and its implementation.
