University of Alabama Teams Up with Chainalysis to Offer Crypto and Blockchain Training Courses The University of Alabama is teaming up with Chainalysis, a provider of compliance and investigation software of virtual currency transactions. Through the partnership, both organizations will aim to offer “cutting-edge” education and training for students. Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis noted in a blog post that it will provide access to its software and training programs – which have reportedly been developed by instructional design and training experts “for integration into a course offered through the UA Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice.” According to Chainalysis, students will be learning about the role of cryptocurrencies in the financial system and criminal transactions. They’ll also develop an understanding of the principles of the underlying blockchain or distributed ledger technologies (DLT) that underpins virtual currencies.
