50 Female Crypto, Blockchain, and Web3 leaders you should know
Written by Hugo LennardCryptocurrency has become one of the hottest topics of discussion in recent times. With the rise of blockchain technology and digital assets, companies are building new financial infrastructure and innovative blockchain platforms that look to usher in a new era of finance. Unfortunately, this industry has historically been male-dominated, with only a handful of women in leadership roles.
According to a recent report by CoinDesk, women make up 8.5% of the total cryptocurrency workforce, which is much lower than the global average of women in the technology industry. However, there has been a significant increase in recent years, with the number of women in the industry nearly doubling since 2016.
In this report, we shine a spotlight on the women who are shaping the crypto, blockchain, and web3 industry. Despite the significant gender imbalance in the sector, with men often outnumbering women, these female leaders are making waves and driving change.
From founders and CEOs to developers and researchers, this report aims to showcase the diversity of talent and expertise among women in the industry, and to highlight the valuable contributions that they are making. By showcasing these female leaders, we hope to inspire and empower other women to pursue careers in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector, creating a more inclusive and diverse industry in the process.
Below we have outlined 50 female crypto, blockchain, and web3 leaders that you should know..
