People worldwide assumed that women couldn’t succeed in the realm of technology just a few decades ago. Years later, those beliefs have been disproved, with women occupying a prominent position in various technological fields. Surprisingly, women have carved out a place in the blockchain industry. 

Women in Blockchain Industry: Their Importance

First and foremost, on this year’s International Women’s Day, let us highlight the relevance of women in the blockchain industry. Let’s dispel the widely held belief that women are incapable of understanding and utilizing technology. Does anyone remember Madame Curie? Women have been one of the most critical contributors to technological innovation in recent times. Women have emerged as maverick performers in the blockchain realm, to everyone’s astonishment. For example, a 2020 research found that women made up nearly 43 percent of those interested in Bitcoin.

Most importantly, women are not passive participants in the blockchain and cryptocurrency revolution. Some women have pioneered promising blockchain initiatives, enhancing the importance of women in the blockchain industry beyond mere participation. Maliha Abidi, a 25-year-old women’s rights activist from the United Kingdom, aims to begin a Women Rise campaign. The program aims to get 100,000 girls and women involved in blockchain by the end of 2022.

Is Inclusiveness a Possibility?

Answers to this question are also needed for International Women’s Day 2022. When it comes to women’s prospects, inclusion is one of the most important themes. Historically, the fields of technology, science, and finance have been dominated by men. Is blockchain industry inclusive of women, despite its promises of a more fair and transparent world with more prospects for inclusion? Women made up roughly 20% of all crypto investors in the United States, which is concerning.

Furthermore, women in blockchain have difficulty finding work in blockchain firms. Female employees made up only 14.5 percent of the workforce in 100 blockchain businesses, according to research.

Women are changing as time goes on.

In any field, the path for women has not been easy. They have, however, always found a way to overcome the odds. As International Women’s Day approaches, it’s impossible not to notice the rise of women in the blockchain industry. Women currently make up 40 percent to 50 percent of the workforce at leading crypto firms. Most importantly, the number of women leading blockchain firms has increased dramatically.

Women have risen in the blockchain industry’s leadership ranks. Marie Wieck and Amber Baldet, respectively, have taken over as supervisors of IBM and JPMorgan Chase’s blockchain operations. Kaitlin Breitman, the co-founder of Tezos, is another prominent woman in the blockchain.

Women’s voices in the blockchain industry have been amplified due to this. According to statistics, the number of women working in the blockchain area has risen to about 12% in just two years. Furthermore, women that work with blockchain are interested in attracting additional women to the technology. The fact that there is no pushback from the men is a plus.
