Women in Blockchain Initiative

“A study published in December by Bitcoin (BTC) fund operator Grayscale showed that 43% of investors interested in Bitcoin are women — up from 13% last year — and this number is actively growing.”

“Between 40-50% of the employees at Binance (the largest crypto exchange in terms of volume) are women.”

“In the world of cryptocurrencies, there have been more women not only trading digital money but also entering roles traditionally dominated by men, including analysts, developers and company leads. At the same time, statistics show that blockchain companies founded by women can successfully compete with those run by men.”

“In general, the lack of women in the blockchain market — until 2018 — can be explained by the historical dominance of men in the tech, financial and scientific industries, whereas the number of women, although growing, is still far from being equal. In these areas, women compose 10%–30% of the total workforce.”

“The results of a study published by LongHash in 2018 show that among 100 blockchain startups, female employees accounted for just 14.5%, while the percentage of managers was a measly 7%. Even worse, there wasn’t a single female leader in 78 out of the 100 startups.”
