It isn't simply some sort of "...needs some sort of "approval" or "go-ahead". "The BDTP™ has not been approved by any regulatory agency or broker dealer and is not currently operational." At this point it looks like the issue is more than not being able to obtain a relationship with a ATS or Broker /Dealer, rather it appears to be a regulatory issue. We can not know for sure because the CEO doesn't address this issue directly in any of the infomercials or even in the filings. Simply states what is linked below.

As for the other ideas penciled into the same template, the system and method patents appear to be pretty weak even if someone was interested in doing the same thing. After all that is all a patent provides, the right to defend their method or system. While the trading platform idea has been promoted for years it didn't take them long to roll something else out once the basic template for the system and method was established and accepted by the patent office. According to Blackstar "...Significant elements of our intended products and services are based on unpatented trade secrets and know-how..." further the applications that they have developed depends on Amazons AWS technology.

Corporate Governance, Auditing, Funding requires no approval. Only digital trading that requires an ATS needs some sort of "approval" or "go-ahead".

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are based in Boulder, Colorado and are engaged in Merchant Banking and Finance in the United States....

...The completion of our software platform depends on our ability to license it to an existing Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) or for us to possibly register as an ATS, which we do not intend to do at this time as we would prefer to license our platform to an existing ATS. The platform is not currently operational or in use by anyone. We have recognized net losses of $1,046,983 in the year ended December 31, 2023. We have relied solely on sales of our securities, convertible note financing, and private loans to fund our operations.

Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to their source code, including Distributed Ledger Technology. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in distributed ledger technology’s long-term viability may adversely affect an investment in us.

Overview of the BDTP™ Platform
Blackstar has built the technology based upon the Quantum Ledger Database, a blockchain framework from Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), and to use the AWS Cloud for transaction data storage. The BDTP™ would offer a web-based interface for trading transactions as well as an Application Programming Interface (API) that directly accesses all transactions stored on the BDTP™. In June 2020, BlackStar and Artuova, a custom software development company, successfully completed a production ready user interface for the BDTP™ platform, which is feature-complete.
