Crypto Asset Lab

The Crypto Asset Lab (CAL) is a research initiative dedicated to exploring the potential of bitcoin and crypto assets as investment opportunities, fintech advancements, and regulatory challenges. Emphasizing a pragmatic approach, CAL avoids subscribing to generic, unsupported blockchain hype, focusing instead on the nuanced aspects of crypto assets. The lab closely monitors innovations in cryptography and blockchain technology, recognizing their significance in privacy, security, and diverse applications such as timestamping (e.g., OpenTimestamps). Functioning as a nexus for academia, industry, institutions, and regulators, CAL actively encourages participation from students, researchers, and practitioners. The lab invites collaboration in research, development, training, teaching, and other experimental activities to contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of money and finance.
