Fourth Annual Puerto Rico cryptocurrency investor conference recognizes top blockchain projects

BitAngels, a global investor network for the blockchain industry, today announced the winner of the “Best in Show” category at its blockchain startup pitch competition during CoinAgenda Caribbean, the leading global conference series connecting blockchain and cryptocurrency investors, traders, digital currency funds and innovation executives since 2014.

FIO, the Foundation for Interwallet Operability, was given the top honor at the BitAngels pitch competition on Feb 27 in Old San Juan, beating out strong pitch competitors Tacen, Qubicles, DexGrid, Levidge, and Keychain. Presented by FIO Managing Director Luke Stokes, FIO is a consortium of leading wallets, exchange, and crypto payment processors supporting the FIO Protocol.

FIO was awarded two complimentary tickets to the next CoinAgenda conference, a free press release on press release distribution service partner, Blockchain Wire, and also earned a complimentary exhibitor booth at a future CoinAgenda conference.

"We were proud to have so many entrepreneurs and investors from Canada to Caymans participate in this fourth annual showcase of the region's best blockchain technologies and thought leadership, and we look forward to growing it in future years, as North America's Blockchain Island increases in its influence," said Michael Terpin, founder of CoinAgenda and CEO of San Juan based global blockchain services company, Transform Group.

Michael Terpin also co-founded BitAngels with David Johnston in 2013; and since then, it has grown from being the world’s first angel network for digital currency startups to the largest global angel network. Marked by networking and short pitches by startup founders to investors, business leaders, and the local blockchain community, BitAngels allows investors the unique chance to network and discover new cryptocurrency investment opportunities in person.
