In March 2021, the Società Italiana degli Autori ed Editori (SIAE), the Italian copyright collecting agency, uploaded over four million non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to the Algorand blockchain, representing copyrights in works produced by SIAE's members.[11] In May 2021, Securitize, a company that enables investment in private capital markets, launched two cryptocurrency yield funds and announced they would be recorded using Algorand's blockchain.[18] "A Survey of Distributed Consensus Protocols for Blockchain Networks".	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8986.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8986.txt
