BLF ACADEMY
At the pulse of knowledge driving today’s blockchain legal revolution.
The BLF community keeps growing — and with it, our commitment to providing even more value to our members. As part of this next step, we’re launching the BLF Academy, a new initiative designed to deliver in-depth, expert-led education and certifications on blockchain regulation across multiple jurisdictions.
The Academy officially launched on May 2026, with three specialization tracks addressing some of the most pressing regulatory topics in the digital asset ecosystem.
Participants may enroll in one specialization or complete all three tracks to earn the BLF Academy Certification.
Each specialization consists of up to 14 weekly live sessions (1.5 hours each) and concludes with a certification exam. Sessions will be taught by leading practitioners and experts from multiple jurisdictions.
Our Specializations
This course establishes the conceptual, monetary, and regulatory foundations necessary to understand stablecoins within the evolving digital monetary system.

🗓️ May 13th - Wednesdays 4pm CET

Stablecoins
This course covers the conceptual and operational foundations of compliance in digital asset markets.
Across nine sessions, participants gain a working understanding of how compliance programs are designed, governed, and tested in practice, with an emphasis on principles and risk awareness over jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction rule analysis.
The programme opens with a masterclass framing the compliance landscape, followed by four modules covering foundations and AML, governance and due diligence, RegTech and case studies, and market integrity.
🗓️ July 7th - Tuesdays 4pm CET
This course introduces the core principles of crypto compliance and AML/CFT in digital asset markets. It analyzes market abuse risks—including insider trading, wash trading, spoofing, and pump-and-dump schemes—alongside market integrity principles. The program also covers governance, risk management, due diligence, and the practical use of RegTech tools for AML, sanctions, KYC, chain analytics, and market surveillance.
Starting July 7th - Tuesdays 4pm CET
Web3 Compliance
This course provides the conceptual and legal foundations for understanding tokenisation and RWAs. It explores the transition from digital representations to fully on-chain assets, digital ownership, token standards, custody and key control, and the structures behind issuance, asset backing, and market infrastructure, alongside investor rights and operational risks through practical case studies.
Starting August 6th - Thursdays 4pm CET
Tokenisation & RWAs
This course provides a structured grounding in the legal and operational architecture of tokenisation and real-world asset (RWA) markets. Across twelve sessions and an opening masterclass, participants examine both sides of the tokenised economy in equal depth: issuance — spanning regulated security tokens, RWAs and the unregulated DeFi-native token spectrum — and market infrastructure, from licensed token venues and DLT settlement systems through to permissionless protocols. A conceptual foundations module — including a hands-on workshop in which participants issue a token and interact with DeFi protocols — is followed by two sessions on U.S. regulation, one on the EU framework, a two-session practical-compliance module covering both primary issuance and secondary-market compliance plus real-world RWA tokenisation patterns, and a comparative final module covering Asia, Offshore & UAE, and Switzerland & the UK.
