A record that makes us imagine a new era of digital currencies. But it's not just an American story. Even in Italy we are rolling up our sleeves. Affidaty Spa, a Tuscan company specializing in blockchain solutions, has received the world's first patent for cryptocurrency payments from the Italian Patent and Trademark Office. The innovation allows you to use Bitcoin, stablecoins and other digital assets as daily payment tools, ensuring legality, security and traceability for merchants and consumers.

The technology is automated and compliant with European regulations, thus overcoming the limits related to the verification times of blockchain transactions. According to Dane Marciano, founder and CEO of Affidaty, this patent represents a turning point for the regulated spread of cryptocurrencies, strengthening Italy's role in international fintech. «Ochiening an industrial right in such a new and dynamic sector as that of cryptocurrencies has been a complex path, both from a technical and regulatory point of view», Marciano explains to us. «On the technical side, the challenge was to devise a system that could operate in the decentralized world of blockchains but with guarantees equivalent to those of traditional banking circuits. On the regulatory side, the key point was to build a technology that fully complies with European directives, integrating concepts such as certain purpose, segregation funds and auditability, #writetoearn
