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='How Challengers Banks Changed Retail Banking'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/how-challengers-banks-changed-retail-banking\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/n5eBjp1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16088\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16088'>\n\t\t\t\tHow Challengers Banks Changed Retail Banking\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor (19th January \u2014 8th February)'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-19th-january-8th-february\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/68a29ddf-c5db-6ed3-d837-69726fa6fb051-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16622\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16622'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor (19th January \u2014 8th February)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Sberbank joins IoT consortium'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/sberbank-joins-iot-consortium\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/sberbank-joins-iot-consortium-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-11864\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-11864'>\n\t\t\t\tSberbank joins IoT consortium\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.
