Digital assets can be complex, and recent developments, such as the GENIUS Act, add new layers community bankers need to understand. As these tools become increasingly referenced in financial transactions, having a solid grasp of the fundamentals is no longer optional.

This webinar breaks down the basics and offers a clear, practical introduction to digital assets. You’ll explore how digital assets are recorded and transferred, as well as compare the shared ledger technology (blockchain) that underpins digital assets with the traditional controlled ledgers (cores) used by banks today. This session provides foundational knowledge that will help you engage in conversations about what they are, how they function, and why they matter.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what qualifies as a digital asset.
• Learn about the different types of digital assets.
• Identify the core features that define a digital asset.
• Understand the difference between shared/distributed ledgers (blockchain) and controlled/centralized ledgers (traditional core banking systems).
