12% of people hold crypto assets, including your clients and suppliers. How can you manage the risks and reap the benefits of this new technology?

Your clients, suppliers or employees may be among the one in eight adults worldwide who hold crypto assets. How can you ensure that crypto transactions are properly accounted for, legally and safely managed, and used to benefit your business?

This book is a gateway to the language and applications of crypto and blockchain. It guides you through the opportunities for business improvement and the risks that need to be managed for corporations and private clients, including signposts to relevant legislation, regulation and security considerations. It helps you to make sense of the distinct properties of crypto assets and understand where they can be transformational and where they really aren’t needed, for more effective strategic decision making.

Having recently read the book I found it to be very insightful. The book provided me with both theoretical and practical knowledge about the technology, and I believe it would be beneficial to a diverse range of audiences, including those in computer science, business, accountancy, and economics.
