includes a “real-time conversion system”, a “cryptocurrency transaction payment system” and a “cryptocurrency suspicious user alert system”. Patent applications for offline storage, “risk detection” and transaction validation were also published, among others.
To date, Bank of America has submitted 11 patent applications related to cryptocurrencies, suggesting that the firm may be looking to build, or at least conceptualize, a fully realized cryptocurrency network. Today's release follows the publication of a patent application for a cryptocurrency wire transfer system in September.
Bank of America is one of a growing number of banks looking at the technology and weighing potential applications – a process evident in the range of applications. The bank is also one of 40 institutions taking part in the blockchain consortium led by startup R3CEV.
Bank of America did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

BlackRock's digital assets head: Leverage-driven volatility threatens bitcoin’s narrative
Rampant speculation on crypto derivatives platforms is fueling volatility and risking bitcoin’s image as a stable hedge, says BlackRock’s digital assets chief.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- BlackRock digital-assets chief Robert Mitchnick warned that heavy use of leverage in bitcoin derivatives is undermining the cryptocurrency’s appeal as a stable institutional portfolio hedge.
- Mitchnick said bitcoin’s fundamentals as a scarce, decentralized monetary asset remain strong, but its trading increasingly resembles a "levered NASDAQ," raising the bar for conservative investors to adopt it.
- He argued that exchange-traded funds like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF are not the main source of volatility, pointing instead to perpetual futures platforms.
