UC Berkeley Launches Center for Digital Asset Research with $1.3 Million Grant from Ripple

UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering is launching the Center for Digital Assets (CDA) to explore the use of blockchain and digital twin technologies in transforming how physical assets are valued, exchanged, and verified in a digital form. This initiative, backed by a $1.3 million grant from Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI), aims to establish new standards for defining and measuring these assets.
