    What are the best certifications and degrees for a career in blockchain compliance, especially if I want credentials recognized worldwide?

    I have five years in international law and compliance and want to move into blockchain legal policy. I see certifications like CBP, CISA, and CRCM, but I’m not sure if these matter in the blockchain field globally.

    Would a specialized LLM or master’s in blockchain law make a bigger impact? If you’ve worked in blockchain compliance across borders, I’d love your advice.

    Do employers value hands-on certifications or advanced degrees more? What has actually helped you advance in this field internationally?

    If you want to advance your career in blockchain compliance, focus on certifications like CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) or CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) for strong global recognition. For a deeper legal or technical focus, consider an LLM in Blockchain and FinTech Law from the University of Nicosia or a Master’s in Blockchain Technology from MIT or Berkeley. Certifications like CBP (Certified Blockchain Professional) are great for beginners, while advanced programs like MBA with Blockchain Specialization (offered by Wharton or INSEAD) prepare you for leadership roles. Choose based on whether you prioritize legal, technical, or strategic career goals. For certifications, CAMS is ideal for professionals handling AML/KYC in blockchain, especially in cryptocurrency compliance. It’s widely respected in financial and blockchain industries. CISA is perfect if you aim to integrate auditing and risk management skills with blockchain technology. CBP, offered by the Blockchain Council, provides a solid foundation for understanding blockchain applications and compliance, making it suitable for those just entering the field.

    On the academic side, an LLM in Blockchain and FinTech Law is excellent for lawyers looking to specialize in blockchain regulations, with programs like those at the University of Nicosia and Edinburgh ranking high globally. If you're technically inclined, a Master’s in Blockchain Technology at MIT or Berkeley gives you expertise in blockchain architecture and compliance.

    An MBA with a Blockchain Focus is best for leadership roles, blending business strategy with blockchain insights. Universities like Wharton and INSEAD offer programs tailored to professionals aiming for senior roles in compliance or blockchain strategy. These paths align well with global standards, ensuring you stay competitive in this growing sector.
