On Monday, July 10, Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson took to his blog to announce a Series B investment in the company Blockchain, which produces a software platform for digital assets. To date, Blockchain has raised $70 million from international investors.
In his post, Branson writes, “Blockchain’s focus has been on building the most used and trusted wallet technology, enabling users to essentially act as their own bank. We think the wallet will play a pivotal role in this ecosystem and I see the business leading the way in a space that has the potential to disrupt the world of money and centralised institutions.”
A spokesperson for Blockchain expressed gratitude for Branson’s vote of confidence:
"We are very fortunate to have the continued support of world-renown investors and entrepreneurs, like Sir Richard Branson, who recognize the positive implications of digital currency. This capital will allow us to make big, bold bets and we look forward to what the future holds."
