Crypto: Blockchain, DeFi, Stablecoins, Tokenization, Artificial Intelligence, and the New Financial Infrastructure (Economics and Finance)

The crypto market goes far beyond Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading. Behind market prices lies an infrastructure built around blockchain, Ethereum, smart contracts, DeFi, stablecoins, asset tokenization, exchanges, tokenomics, and artificial intelligence, with the potential to transform how money, ownership, and financial services are created, transferred, and used.

This book provides a broad and accessible guide to the crypto ecosystem. You will understand how Bitcoin and blockchain work, what gives tokens value, how prices and liquidity are formed, the role of exchanges and derivatives, how decentralized finance operates, and what supports stablecoins. It also explores security, custody, scams, global crypto regulation, real-world assets (RWA), artificial intelligence, and autonomous agents.

More than a guide to current trends, this book provides the foundations needed to understand how the crypto market works, where its risks lie, and which technologies may shape the future of finance.
