In so doing, Earnity will provide users with the ability to earn, learn, collect and gift a variety of tokens and portfolios. Earnity was founded by Domenic Carosa, Founder and Chairman of Banxa Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: BNXAF), a fiat-crypto payment processor for the digital asset industry and Co-Founder & Chairman of Apollo Capital, a crypto-focused investment fund, and is also led by an international team of executives with blockchain, fintech, and crypto experience with leading institutions including PayPal, eBay, Okcoin, Abra, JPMorgan, Visa, Western Union, and Google.

The Company’s Founder and Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault, III said, “Earnity is a transformational investment for BitNile as it embarks on not only mining Bitcoin, the foundation of the crypto revolution, but also on bringing the benefits of DeFi to individuals worldwide.”

Domenic Carosa, Earnity’s founder, says, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Todd Ault, Chris Wu and the BitNile team, who share our vision of universal access to crypto in a safe, easy and engaging way, thereby aligning crypto’s original premise of fostering peer-to-peer interactions.
