Women In Crypto

The world is rapidly evolving, developing technologies give everyone more opportunities. However, it is still a common misconception that cryptocurrency is for men only. All it takes to understand that it is not true is to open a list of team members of almost every crypto service. It may come as a surprise, but there are a lot of women.

Some stats

The 2018 report from ‘Diversity in Blockchain’ showed that all blockchain based companies started between 2012 and 2017 had female co-founders and chief officers. For example, the Vice President of Coinbase is Emilie Choi. Digital Asset’s CFO and COO is Emnet Rios, and the company's Chief Client Experience Officer is Kelly Mathieson. Paxos’ VP of Marketing is also a woman, Dorothy Chang. One of the Bancor co-founders is also a lady, Galia Benartzi. You are welcome to find more inspiring examples in this article.

Women are actively trying to reduce the gender imbalance. This is also evidenced by a number of studies. For example, according to Cardify, women made 15% of cryptocurrency deposits in January 2021, up from 5.6% the year before.

Let’s take a look at the statistics. According to Coin Dance, the percentage of women involved in crypto is growing. On the graph below we can see that the proportion of women now is 14.23%. And only a year ago this number was 12.28%.

The eToro trading platform reports that the number of women involved in crypto investment is growing. Moreover, recently women have been signing up faster than men. According to the information from this service, 15% of Bitcoin investors and 12% of Ethereum investors are women. These percentages may seem not very high, however, we can see a positive dynamic.

As of the recent two years, Statista give us an updated information on the crypto owners' genders. Turns out that 26% out of the genral number of people ever investing in crypto are women!

Support of crypto community

The crypto community is being very supportive of the trend. There is a hashtag #womanincrypto on Twitter that unites everything connected to a topic.

Let’s take a look at some of them:

Conclusion

Undoubtedly, modern technologies and access to information provide equal investment opportunities for people of both genders. Surely, the proportion of women in crypto will grow as the worldwide interest in the subject is increasing. It will not be surprising at all if one day we will see the same amount of women as men driving the Crypto World forward.
