The Bank of America has a substantial accumulation of more than 50 blockchain applications on the planet. On the 30th of October, one more application was documented. The Bank of America is the second biggest bank in the United States. It has been at the bleeding edge of building a casual framework for blockchain licenses. While the bank has been accepting blockchain licenses, it's not actually bullish about cryptographic forms of money and the fundamental blockchain innovation. Indeed, time and again, the bank has been spotted evaluating the business.

Bank Of America And Cryptocurrency-related Patents

In March 2014, the bank of America recorded its first blockchain-related patent. This was distributed by the United States Patent Trademark Office. While the term blockchain was not specified, the organization suggested that the patent was for cryptographic forms of money and the fundamental blockchain innovation. This was the first historically speaking digital money related patent that was recorded by a noteworthy bank in the United States at the time. The way that the bank recorded a blockchain patent doesn't come as a shock. This is on the grounds that it was one of the principal banks to start inclusion of Bitcoin in 2013.

In 2015, the bank was granted with a digital money related patent. In the meantime, it additionally joined R3. R3 is a consortium of banks and money related establishments that have faith in Ripple's innovation. The consortium has more than 200 individuals. As far back as the principal patent was documented, more licenses have been heaping up for the Bank of America. In 2015, around ten new sections that were documented in 2014 were distributed by the bank.

In 2016, the bank reported that it was making arrangements to discharge 20 new blockchain-related licenses. Amid a meeting with CNBC, Catherine Bassant, the head working officer of the Bank of America stated:

"I am a technologist thus I think blockchain innovation is captivating. We are attempting our best to lead the path in the business. A great many people don't comprehend why the Bank of America is keen on the blockchain and digital money patent space".

As of June 2018, the Bank of America had up to 45 live licenses. This was the manner by which they anchored the main position in the patent race. Notwithstanding, the way that the organization has demonstrated enthusiasm for the blockchain patent race doesn't mean it is in the end going to create blockchain based items. This additionally doesn't mean it is bullish about the whole business. The organization is more intrigued by enrolling the innovation than in creating it.
