Smart Contracts & Programmable Money for Financial Institutions

Electronic Format

Why can code move money on a weekend when a bank can’t? This book answers that question for bankers, from how money moves today to how a smart contract, a stablecoin, and a tokenized deposit actually work, and what it takes to run them safely.

Inside the book
The book moves from the payments you know to programmable money: settlement, finality, and reconciliation; what a smart contract is, oracles, and how to read one without becoming a developer; the life of a stablecoin, reserves, redemption, and stablecoin law after the GENIUS Act; tokenized deposits for community banks and credit unions; wallets, validation, layers, gas, and bridges; BSA/AML, OFAC, blockchain analytics, and consumer legal questions; 24/7/365 operations, exception processing, and treasury; code, governance, audit, and incident response risk; case studies; and the Payments Professor Smart Contract Risk Framework. Tools include a risk assessment, fifty vendor due diligence questions, an audit review checklist, an operations exception checklist, board briefing questions, a glossary, and a rail-by-rail comparison of ACH, wire, FedNow®, RTP®, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits. Every regulatory statement is labeled as law, final rule or guidance, or proposed and developing.

Who it’s for
Payments, operations, treasury, risk, compliance, and audit leaders, plus executives and boards who need to evaluate programmable money, stablecoin, and tokenized deposit proposals with confidence.
