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='Video: FinTech expectations for 2019'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/video-fintech-expectations-for-2019\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Video-FinTech-expectations-for-2019-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12023\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12023'>\n\t\t\t\tVideo: FinTech expectations for 2019\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Infographic: the top 10 trends in payments for 2018'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/infographic-the-top-10-trends-in-payments-for-2018\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Top-10-trends-in-payments-2018-1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-9604\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-9604'>\n\t\t\t\tInfographic: the top 10 trends in payments for 2018\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor 23th \u2013 30th October'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-23th-30th-october\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/7c9c1b75-7cad-453f-a215-69858af52b231-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15482\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15482'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor 23th \u2013 30th October\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.
