Reconstructing the TradFi System: How Blockchain Is Transforming Financial Infrastructure
Against the backdrop of the ongoing digitalization of the global financial system, the institutionalized trust and multi-layered intermediary structures that traditional finance has long relied upon are facing practical challenges in terms of efficiency, transparency, and global collaboration capabilities. The emergence of blockchain technology is not merely a new form of assets; rather, as a component of financial infrastructure, it redefines the underlying methods of value recording, transaction execution, and asset management. Starting from this structural shift, this course begins with the operational logic of traditional finance and systematically unfolds an analysis of blockchain finance, asset tokenization, and the pathways for integrating old and new financial systems. It aims to help you establish a comprehensive cognitive framework for understanding the evolution of contemporary finance.
About the Course
Centered on the core question of how financial infrastructure evolves, this course systematically examines the underlying logic and structural bottlenecks of the traditional financial system. It delves into how blockchain, as a technological alternative, can reconstruct clearing, settlement, custody, and trading mechanisms through decentralized ledgers, smart contracts, and programmable rules. Building on this foundation, the course further explores the changes brought by asset tokenization to trading paradigms, risk structures, and compliance frameworks. By incorporating real-world cases of cryptocurrency trading platforms expanding into traditional financial asset price trading, it demonstrates the practical forms of multi-asset, cross-market trading systems. Finally, the course elevates the perspective to a macro level, analyzing the integration trends between traditional finance and crypto finance in terms of efficiency, compliance, and infrastructure. This will help you understand how future financial systems will gradually form more modular and globally oriented operational structures through competition and coexistence.
