Digital Assets Program

On June 23-26, 2025, the Program on International Financial Systems (PIFS) and Harvard Law School Executive Education (HLSEE) arranged a four-day executive education program on “The Evolving Role of Digital Assets in the Global Financial System” at Harvard. This program was co-sponsored by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Digital Assets Policy Project.

The program was led by Professors Howell Jackson and Hal Scott (of Harvard Law School) and Tim Roughgarden (of Columbia University) as well as former public officials such as Timothy Massad and William Hinman; and it included perspectives from market participants. The program was designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of blockchain technology and digital assets, the regulatory framework for digital assets in key jurisdictions, and ongoing policy debates and reforms.
