Exchange operator Nasdaq is seeking to patent a system for securely distributing time-sensitive information via a blockchain.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released the patent application – entitled "Systems and Methods for Securing and Disseminating Time Sensitive Information Using a Blockchain" – on August 3, though it was initially submitted in late January of this year.

Overall, the document details how the system, by way of running on a distributed platform, enables information to be transmitted and timestamped, in a way that's reminiscent of bitcoin transactions on the blockchain.
According to the application, the system would enable a user to submit a time-sensitive document to an authority, who, after making edits, could share it with a third party for approval.

Each modification would be recorded and updated on a distributed ledger, in a bid to ensure transparency and prevent any alteration of that data. The system would also incorporate cryptography by giving each participant a public identifier and a corresponding private key.
As such, the patent represents the latest effort by Nasdaq to secure rights related to its work with blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
Last October, the USPTO published a patent application from Nasdaq detailing a plan to create blockchain "backups" for exchanges, that would create an auxiliary record of transactions in the event of an emergency.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
O que saber:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
