Introduction to blockchain

Description

The Basel Institute on Governance offers a four-day training course covering the fundamentals of crypto, financial crime and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

Delivered virtually over four interactive three-hour sessions, the course equips practitioners from law enforcement, financial and business sectors to prevent, detect and investigate the use of crypto for illicit activities.

The workshop is built around a practical money laundering case study in which participants investigate the “cleaning” of stolen assets and their integration into the financial system by tracing transactions through the blockchain.

Policymakers, regulators and investigative journalists will also benefit from this comprehensive introduction to cryptoassets and blockchain analysis, due diligence and risk management.

This course runs from 4-7 May 2026, from 14:00–17:30 CET each day. It is led by Alexandru Donciu together with Allison Owen.
