Gain the knowledge you need to confidently translate and interpret the language of tokenization, a fast-growing area reshaping financial markets and redefining key concepts in structured finance.
As financial systems embrace blockchain technology, translators and interpreters are increasingly expected to navigate the evolving language of fintech. This webinar is designed to give you a practical understanding of tokenization—how it differs from traditional securitization and what that means for the documents, terminology, and concepts you encounter in financial and technical translation.
Over the course of two hours, we’ll break down the fundamentals of both securitization and tokenization, showing how blockchain and smart contracts are changing the structure, regulation, and communication of financial products. You’ll learn what terms are used, how to approach source materials, and what emerging trends are shaping client expectations.
With real-world examples and a focus on accuracy and clarity, we’ll explore the growing role of blockchain in finance, focusing on practical aspects relevant to translators, such as new terminology, document types, and industry trends.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll walk away with a stronger grasp of key fintech concepts and greater confidence in handling specialized content in your professional practice.
