Coinbase CEO acquired a US patent that allows sending BTC via email
Brian Armstrong, who is the chief executive officer of the most important crypto exchange Coinbase has acquired a US patent for a method that allows users to transfer BTC by sending a simple email.
The patent has been initially submitted back in March 2015, and it was awarded on Tuesday, December 17th.
This describes a system for people to perform crypto transactions by using email addresses that are connected to the online wallets.
Once the sender requests to send BTC to a certain email address, the program will automatically send the specified amount from the sender’s crypto address the wallet of the recipient, which is associated with the email address.
It’s also important to note that the patent does mention BTC, but it doesn’t say whether the email system will allow users to transact with other cryptos as well.
We recommend that you read more details on this issue in the original notes of the patent.
