The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has introduced an online program on financial technologies, including digital currencies, according to a press release published on May 30.
The new online program dubbed āFintech: Foundations and Applications of Financial Technologiesā features lectures and case studies on topics such as payments, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and crowdfunding, among others.
Apart from the university lecturers, the course also features speakers from the leading industry companies, including payment processor Square, marketplace lender CommonBond, and investment advisory firm Vanguard.
