[Mastercard Granted Two Patents: Ability to Assess Money Laundering Risks and Protect Privacy Before Cryptocurrency Transfers] According to Digital Asset, Mastercard has been granted two US patents aimed at assessing money laundering risks before users make cryptocurrency transfers and approving transactions without disclosing transaction details. According to documents published by the US Patent and Trademark Office on November 6, Mastercard obtained these two patents on November 3. The first technology analyzes the recipient's historical transaction records before a transfer and calculates the increase in the user's risk score after the transaction, helping the user decide whether to proceed. The second technology allows transactions to be processed in a private network of authorized nodes, with a central system verifying the balance and deciding whether to approve the transfer, thereby protecting transaction privacy and preventing double-spending.
