**Blockchain Firm HUMBL Secures US Patent for Currency Transfer Tech**

Blockchain company HUMBL has just received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its innovative currency transfer system using blockchain technology. The patent, granted on October 15, outlines a system that enables seamless digital-to-fiat transactions without intermediaries.

The approval process took over four years, significantly longer than the average 26.2 months. During this time, HUMBL strengthened its government connections, becoming Santa Cruz's official digital asset service provider in 2023.

HUMBL's CEO, Brian Foote, expressed relief but also highlighted the challenges small businesses face due to lengthy patent approval times.
