While women are increasingly investing in cryptocurrency, men still have the majority of the jobs in the sector and have the most say when it comes to investment advice as well as a greater share in the money involved in crypto.
Women often complain that they are treated badly, harassed, frozen out, or have it many times harder than their male colleagues when it comes to promotions and success.
However, there are many femme leaders that are now taking action in the blockchain industry to make sure that there is increased diversity, equality, and inclusivity.
Oasis Labs’ Chief Operating Officer, Anne Fauvre-Willis, led the Blockchain Leaders Mentorship virtual event with two separate panels with women.
Fauvre-Willis found that the event was a great opportunity for women to get into the crypto and blockchain as well as switch from financial jobs to fintech ones.
With the aim to highlight other women, the Mermaid Night event can be a great way to inspire more to join in.
Sabando says, “The mermaid happy hour event endeavors to be the “must attend” event for the crypto community to directly connect with their favorite #cryptotwitter female persona.
Women4blockchain’s founder, Anna Vladi, also agreed that while decentralized financial institutions are pretty popular, they are still very much male-dominated.
