Blockchain Explained

Description

Tokenisation, smart contracts, DLT, crypto, Central Banks Digital Currency (CBDC)… we know these terms can be a bit confusing, which is why we have decided to address all these concepts in simple business terms. The aim is to help you understand what they are and how they can create business value.

Our host Sarah Walsh, who works in BNP Paribas Global Markets Americas, will take you on this journey interviewing people within the bank who are involved in digital assets-related projects.
