Do you know how banking and money will look like in the new digital
age? This book collects the voices of leading scholars,
entrepreneurs, policy makers and consultants who, through their
expertise and keen analytical skills, are best positioned to
picture from various angles the ongoing technological revolution in
banking and finance. You will learn how lending and borrowing can
exist without banks; how new forms of money can compete to better
serve different society needs; how new technologies are banking the
unbanked communities in the poorest parts of the world, and how
ideas and small projects can be financed by the crowds without the
need to rely upon banks. You will learn how, in the new digital
age, we will interact with new self-organised and autonomous
companies that operate without any human involvement, based on a
set of programmed and incorruptible rules. You will learn that new
business models will emerge thanks to technology-enabled platforms,
upon which one can build new forms of non-hierarchical cooperation
between strangers. And you will also learn that new forms of risks
and threats are emerging that will destabilise our systems and
jeopardise the stability of our financial order.
This book shows how blockchain technology can transform the
Internet, connecting global businesses in disruptive ways. It
offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted examination of the
potential of distributed ledger technology (DLT) from a new
perspective: as an enabler of the Internet of Value (IoV). The
authors discuss applications of blockchain technology to the
financial services domain, e.g. in real estate, insurance and the
emerging Decentralised Finance (DeFi) movement. They also cover
applications to the media and e-commerce domains. DLT's impacts on
the circular economy, marketplace, Internet of Things (IoT) and
oracle business models are also investigated. In closing, the book
provides outlooks on the evolution of DLT, as well as the systemic
governance and privacy risks of the IoV. The book is intended for a
broad readership, including students, researchers and industry
practitioners.

This practical introduction explains the field of Blockchain
Economics, the economic models emerging with the implementation of
distributed ledger technology. These models are characterized by
three factors: open platform business models, cryptotoken money
supplies, and Initial Coin Offerings as a new and official form of
financing. The book covers a variety of approaches from a business
and academic perspective, ranging from financial theory,
complexity, and open innovation networks to behavioral economics,
self-determination theory, public policy, and financial
inclusion.Unlike existing titles, this book draws on worldwide
blockchain industry experts to define the new discipline of
Blockchain Economics and provide novel theoretical and conceptual
resources for the future of this fast-developing economy. The
primer also highlights the wider theme of blockchain as an
institutional technology, in that many value transfer interactions
might be shifted to automated networks, decreasing the number of
human-operated institutions.As well as stimulating further
research, and implementation by business innovators and public
policy strategists, the book can also be used as a foundational
textbook in courses on Blockchain Economics.
