Topics include basic introductions to stablecoins and cryptocurrencies as well as blockchain analysis and regulatory policy around digital assets. Co-organized with the nearby Franklin University Switzerland, or FUS, and supported by the Università Della Svizzera Italiana and FUS’ Taylor Institute, the Plan ₿ school initiative is aimed at equipping a new generation of workers with the skills needed in the digital asset space. Other crypto-friendly countries including El Salvador — where BTC has been accepted as legal tender since September 2021 — have launched similar education centers in an effort to increase adoption.
