In response, universities have started to develop research centers, laboratories and even entire departments dedicated to these topics. In fact, 42% of the top 50 universities worldwide offer at least one course related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, with 22% offering multiple courses. Moreover, 70% of the universities were found to have already included at least some information related to cryptocurrencies in course materials. It is also worth mentioning that cryptocurrency- and blockchain-related material is also being taught outside of IT and programming courses and has been included in anthropology and financial courses. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-12453 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='POPin Video Banking and MEA announce collaboration'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/popin-video-banking-and-mea-announce-collaboration\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/infographic-elements-for-support_1212-31-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10223\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/infographic-elements-for-support_1212-31-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/infographic-elements-for-support_1212-31-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/infographic-elements-for-support_1212-31.jpg 626w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10223'>\n\t\t\t\tPOPin Video Banking and MEA announce collaboration\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The Impact of Fintechs on Traditional Financial Institutions'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-impact-of-fintechs-on-traditional-financial-institutions\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8233f979-45ec-69cb-8e65-ef34eaef56e71-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-17392\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-17392'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Impact of Fintechs on Traditional Financial Institutions\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The Pulse of FinTech in the First Half of 2021: A New KPMG Report'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-pulse-of-fintech-in-the-first-half-of-2021-a-new-kpmg-report\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/40c80282-2a70-317b-4204-f5daf3c334391-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16247\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16247'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Pulse of FinTech in the First Half of 2021: A New KPMG Report\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent study, well-known universities around the world are facing an increased demand from students for courses and information on cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
