SALT LAKE CITY, March 14, 2018 -- Medici Ventures, a global leader in advancing blockchain technology, announces an investment in Bitsy, a Utah-based company building a blockchain-based bridge between FIAT and crypto currencies.
“Bitsy and the work it is doing dovetails perfectly with Medici Ventures’ goal of investing in companies that are democratizing capital by eliminating middlemen and re-humanizing commerce,” said Medici Ventures President Jonathan Johnson.
In addition to the financial investment, Johnson was named to Bitsy’s board of directors.

Medici Ventures strategically invests in companies that apply blockchain technology to industries including capital markets, banking and money, identity, land titling and property rights, and voting.
“It’s exciting to partner with another Utah-based company in this venture,” Johnson continued. “This partnership is another indication that Utah’s Silicon Slopes community is changing the landscape of our world through technology.”
