STATES
Block One Capital Inc. (TSXV:BLOK) (OTCQB:BKPPF) (Frankfurt:ES3)
(the “
Company” or “
Block One”),
an investment company focused on high growth opportunities in the
blockchain and cryptocurrency sector, is pleased to announce that
it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with
Affirmation Technology Group LLC ("Affirmation Technology") to
acquire 30% of the New York, USA based developer of decentralized
anti-money laundering (“AML”), know your customer (“KYC”) and
Accredited Investor solutions. Under the terms of the definitive
agreement, the Company has acquired 30% of the blockchain
technology company, with an option to acquire an additional 10%.
Affirmative Technology provides the technical infrastructure to
power a suite of decentralized compliance solutions through the
INTELid™ (www.intelid.com) platform. The business proposition is to
bridge the gap between the growing want for decentralized,
peer-to-peer financial markets, and the global need for compliance
adherence as required by current market regulators and other
governing bodies. Affirmation Technology was founded by Wall Street
veteran and long-time technology strategist Scott Carotenuto.
“INTELid is where investors, traders and other would-be
blockchain participants have actual ownership of their [verified]
AML, KYC, and investor accreditation data. Compliance requirements
surrounding new issue securities tokens, crypto trading, as well as
counterparty-risk assessment for OTC and secondary markets are
going to continue to evolve with advancements in use cases for
blockchain and cryptography, and we intend to position INTELid as
the benchmark for decentralized compliance solutions. INTELid user
data ownership is coupled with the individual owner’s ability to
also control the level of confidentiality or anonymity employed
when conducting business,” said Mr. Scott Carotenuto.
“Affirmation Technology is not only a pioneer in blockchain
AML/KYC architecture, it will also enable security token issuers be
compliant while restoring power and privacy to the investor,” said
Mr. Sothi Thillairajah, CEO of Block One Capital Inc.
