Our world is increasingly digitalised, new technologies aim to build a better world. The one of particular interest to us is Blockchain technology, which aims to revolutionise the digital world. Recently, many industries have begun to take an interest in it and the use of smart contracts. The insurance sector is the one we are interested in during this research thesis. This industry faces many challenges, including falsified claims, costs incurred by all intermediaries, and low customer satisfaction.
The Blockchain could be the solution, it allows instant, inexpensive and middleman-free transactions. But not only that, it has the potential to change the rules of the game and restore power to the people based on a mechanism of trust. This trust is no longer based on a centralising body but on a decentralised and shared system. 
This thesis aims to understand the impact of the Blockchain, the opportunities and threats that may exist. This work is based on the reading of scientific and managerial articles as well as a qualitative study carried out with the help of interviews with various experts in the field. We will see that the technology is not yet mature, there are still some challenges to be met, but more and more players are taking an interest in it and experiments are already being carried out.

Over the recent years, traditional asset classes have shown poor financial performance. This led to an increased interest in alternative investments such as hedge funds, gold, real estate and collectibles. This study explores the possibility of extending the definition of alternative assets to professional athletes and especially professional golf players. The study starts with an in-depth literature review, conducted with two separate objectives that are to be met. The first objective is to determine whether athletes and professional golf players could be considered as an alternative asset from a theoretical perspective and from a quantitative perspective. For this reason, the literature review also aims at determining whether any existing valuation models exist for professional athletes. The second objective of this thesis is to study the impact of the Blockchain technology in such process. 

The analysis of the literature highlights that no limitation exists to the inclusion of new asset classes to the field of alternative assets. However, some authors argue that it is essential to establish a valuation model that allows the financialization of golfers. An Index-based valuation model is developed in this thesis in order to allow a relative valuation of professional golfers. The model focuses on the statistical performance of players who played on the European Tour during the 2018 season. Nevertheless, the literature review shows that investing directly in athletes leads to ethical and legal issues. That is the reason why a specific focus is put on the Blockchain technology. Nowadays, Blockchain is changing the way conventional industries are organized. Thanks to the concept of Smart Contracts, using this technology in such models could help solving some ethical issues such as Money Laundering. Therefore, this study aims at highlighting the ins and outs of using Blockchain while taking into account the conditions related to the use of golf players in a tokenization process. 

As a conclusion, this thesis suggests that from a literary point of view, golfers can be considered as a tool for financial diversification. On the other hand, the model developed enables investors to compare professional golfers in terms of their performance. This allows the financialization of golfers and could ease their trade. The fact that these athletes can, in principle, be considered as alternative assets means that they can also be used in a tokenization process.

Use this book to write an Ethereum Blockchain Smart Contract, test it, deploy it, and create a web application to interact with your smart contract. Beginning Ethereum Smart Contracts Programming is your fastest and most efficient means of getting started if you are unsure where to begin and how to connect to the Ethereum Blockchain. The book begins with a foundational discussion of blockchain and the motivation behind it. From there, you will get up close and personal with the Ethereum Blockchain, learning how to use an Ethereum client (geth) to connect to the Ethereum Blockchain to perform transactions such as sending Ethers to another account. You will learn about smart contracts without having to wade through tons of documentation. Author Lee’s “learn-by-doing” approach will allow you to be productive and feel confident in your ability in no time. The last part of this book covers tokens, a topic that has taken the cryptocurrency market by storm. Sample code in Python, Solidity, and JavaScript is provided in the book and online. What You'll Learn: Understand the basic premise of blockchain and “record keeping” in a peer-to-peer network Experience blockchain in action by creating your own blockchain using Python Know the foundation of smart contracts programming and how to deploy and test smart contracts Work on a case study to illustrate the use of blockchain Be familiar with tokens, and how to create and launch your own ICO digital token Write smart contracts that transact using tokens This book is for those who want to get started quickly with Ethereum Smart Contracts programming. Basic programming knowledge and an understanding of Python or JavaScript is recommended. Wei-Meng Lee is the founder of Developer Learning Solutions, a technology company specializing in hands-on training of blockchain and other emerging technologies. He has many years of training expertise and his courses emphasize a learn-by-doing approach. He is a master at making learning a new programming language or technology less intimidating and fun.

There is a broad consensus amongst law firms and in-house legal departments that next generation “Legal Tech” – particularly in the form of Blockchain-based technologies and Smart Contracts – will have a profound impact on the future operations of all legal service providers. Legal Tech startups are already revolutionizing the legal industry by increasing the speed and efficiency of traditional legal services or replacing them altogether with new technologies. This on-going process of disruption within the legal profession offers significant opportunities for all business. However, it also poses a number of challenges for practitioners, trade associations, technology vendors, and regulators who often struggle to keep up with the technologies, resulting in a widening regulatory “gap.” Many uncertainties remain regarding the scope, direction, and effects of these new technologies and their integration with existing practices and legacy systems. Adding to the challenges is the growing need for easy-to-use contracting solutions, on the one hand, and for protecting the users of such solutions, on the other. To respond to the challenges and to provide better legal communications, systems, and services Legal Tech scholars and practitioners have found allies in the emerging field of Legal Design. This collection brings together leading scholars and practitioners working on these issues from diverse jurisdictions. The aim is to introduce Blockchain and Smart Contract technologies, and to examine their on-going impact on the legal profession, business and regulators. .
