HONG KONG: It might be the definitive sign that cryptocurrencies have arrived on Wall Street.

CFA Institute, whose gruelling three-level programme has helped train more than 150,000 financial professionals, is adding topics on cryptocurrencies and blockchain to its Level I and II curriculums for the first time next year. Material for the 2019 exams will be released in August, giving candidates their first opportunity to start logging a recommended 300 hours of study time.
