The partnership aims to revolutionize the security standards for Bitcoin ATMs, offering enhanced protection for cryptocurrency transactions.

The collaboration between Bullet Blockchain and Sailo Technologies marks the introduction of a groundbreaking crypto wallet protection service that includes a money-back guarantee.

Rising Threats in the Cryptocurrency Industry
Recent reports highlight the increasing risks faced by the cryptocurrency sector due to cyberattacks. In 2022, hackers stole a record $3.8 billion in crypto assets, marking a 15% rise from the previous year. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported a significant surge in Bitcoin ATM scams. Consumer losses from these scams grew nearly tenfold between 2020 and 2023, totaling over $110 million. In the first half of 2024, losses exceeded $65 million, with individuals over the age of 60 being disproportionately affected. Scammers often impersonate government officials, businesses, or tech support to create a sense of urgency, leading victims to withdraw funds and deposit them into Bitcoin ATMs, unknowingly transferring money to scammers’ cryptocurrency accounts.
Expanding Licensing and Intellectual Property Portfolio
Bullet Blockchain continues to strengthen its position in the Bitcoin ATM market through its licensing initiatives. The company offers a range of partnership models, including transaction-based fees and revenue-sharing opportunities centered around its intellectual property. In a previous announcement, Bullet Blockchain revealed its acquisition of First Bitcoin Capital LLC, which held a valuable portfolio of Bitcoin ATM patents. This acquisition grants Bullet Blockchain exclusive rights to key technologies, including US Patent Nos. US9135787B1 and US10332205B1. These patents are essential for the operation of Bitcoin ATMs and networks, providing Bullet Blockchain with a significant competitive advantage in the growing cryptocurrency sector.
Through its innovative partnership with Sailo Technologies and its expanding portfolio of intellectual property, Bullet Blockchain is positioning itself as a leader in the Bitcoin ATM and cryptocurrency security space. The company is committed to enhancing user trust and safety, driving the evolution of secure and reliable cryptocurrency transactions.
