Frequently asked questions

Common Questions About the CBFP™

01 What is the CBFP™ certification?

The CBFP™, or Certified Blockchain Finance Professional, is MMBA's professional-level credential for finance, banking, investment and compliance professionals. It combines an 8-course pathway—4 courses in blockchain finance and 4 in blockchain law and digital assets—into one integrated professional credential.

02 How long does it take to complete the CBFP™?

The CBFP™ takes 16 to 20 hours total, split between the Blockchain Finance course series and the Blockchain Law & Digital Assets course series. The program is self-paced, online and asynchronous, so participants can complete it on their own schedule.

03 Does the CBFP™ qualify for CPE credit?

Yes. The CBFP™ is CPE-eligible for licensed CPAs and accountants through CPEThink, MMBA's CPE partner. The course is valid for 10 CPE credits.

04 What's the difference between the CBFP™ and MMBA's associate-level blockchain certifications?

Associate-level blockchain certifications are entry-level credentials focused on one discipline and contain 4 courses. The CBFP™ is a professional-level credential that integrates the complete Blockchain Finance and Blockchain Law & Digital Assets course series into an 8-course, 16 to 20 hour pathway with a 200-question certification exam.

05 What's the difference between the CBFP™ and the CBAP™?

The CBFP™ focuses on blockchain finance, tokenization, digital currencies, DeFi and digital-asset regulation. The CBAP™ focuses on blockchain accounting, digital-asset taxation, audit, assurance and controls. Earning both credentials supports progression toward MMBA's Master-level recognition.

06 Is prior blockchain experience required for the CBFP™?

No. The CBFP™ has no formal prerequisites. Finance, banking, investment or compliance experience is helpful, but the curriculum introduces the relevant blockchain concepts before progressing to applied financial and regulatory topics.
