Arizona Tribune - Patented, Groundbreaking Blockchain for Public Companies 'BlackStar Digital Trading Platform(TM)' Can Facilitate U.S. Registered Securities to Trade on Blockchain Without Tokens

With eight patents granted to BlackStar for digital trading on blockchain, BlackStar CEO Joseph E. Kurczodyna believes this new patented technology, BlackStar Digital Trading Platform^TM (BDTP^TM), could actively shape the future of financial markets by trading registered stocks on blockchain while operating within SEC and FINRA rules and regulations. BDTP^TM additionally has the capability of operating with SEC and FINRA oversight, thereby centralizing the process while still offering the advantages of De-Fi.

Mr. Kurczodyna suggests that a key attraction to the current crypto market is that the customers can trade directly on the internet with blockchain entities via wallets - without intermediaries. This direct trading is, in his opinion, the key volume factor in crypto's success, rather than the underlying entity itself. "When you enable 8 billion people to trade directly, you empower everyday people to take control of their own financial investments," Mr. Kurczodyna explains.

BlackStar can recreate this experience by producing a blockchain engine for individual public companies, allowing shareholders to buy and sell shares of stock directly on blockchain, not through crypto exchanges, but through FINRA registered Broker Dealers with peer-to-peer public trading (cash and stock transactions only; no shorting will be allowed).

Leveraging the power of supply and demand, widespread digital distribution, and assets with intrinsic value as registered securities, Mr. Kurczodyna opines that the blockchain engine phenomenon has the ability to draw everyday investors from around the globe to engage in U.S. stocks that trade digitally on blockchain.

Accordingly, Mr. Kurczodyna further reiterated that "Our focus on integrating blockchain into digital trading for U.S. Stocks and Broker Dealers is a natural progression. With eight seminal patents granted, BlackStar has a strong foundation for innovation in financial markets. The next step for BlackStar is to work on implementing these technologies with industry partners."

BlackStar is progressing in finding a Broker Dealer to list its own shares on a blockchain and quote the action, providing proof of concept for future public company subscribers. The process of FINRA approval to quote blockchain engine trading shares could take time, but considering the new SEC Crypto initiative, BlackStar is hopeful that the process will be faster than expected.

BlackStar's IP portfolio may increase BlackStar's visibility regarding SEC Blockchain Industry Trading, Funding and Corporate Governance Audits.

Mr. Kurczodyna believes BlackStar's innovation can provide regulated trading through the SEC Brokerage system. On March 11^th, 2025, USPTO Issued BlackStar's Derivative Blockchain Trading Patent, "System and Method for Trading Derivatives of Securities Purchased on a Blockchain on a Digital Trading Platform that Integrates with the traditional Broker Dealer Eco System." U.S. Patent Application No. 12,248,987: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/authorize.html?redirect=print/pdfRedirectDownload/12248987.

A complete list of patents can be found on BlackStar's website, BlackStarEG.com.

BlackStar and its future financial partners may receive blockchain ETF management fees, with a license agreement that is negotiated with existing players whose activities may be covered by BlackStar patents. Mr. Kurczodyna is adamant that BlackStar's patent longevity provides the ability to develop this opportunity in a billion-dollar industry.
