Blockchain for Electronic Banking, 2026 Edition, by The Payments Professor

Your board is asking about stablecoins. Your examiners will get there next.

The GENIUS Act moved stablecoins from a crypto curiosity to a payments question your institution has to answer. Tokenized deposits are being piloted by banks your size. Somebody in your next strategy meeting is going to say the word blockchain, and the room is going to look at you.

This workbook was written so that person can answer with confidence. No token price charts, no promises about the future of money. Just the mechanics, the vocabulary, and the risk questions, explained the way the Professor explains everything else.

Two modules, front to back

Each module closes with a knowledge assessment and a full answer key, so it works as staff training the day it lands.
