Bringing More Women Into The Fold

The crypto industry is succeeding where traditional financial markets have sometimes failed – by bringing more women into the fold.

This is an important step in ensuring that the industry is more inclusive and that everyone has an opportunity to participate in and benefit from the digital economy.

Crypto has found success in bringing women on board, with data showing that it is now the second most widely-owned asset class for women, behind only cash.

This comes from the results of eToro’s latest Retail Investor Beat, which surveyed around 10,000 global retail investors in 13 countries. The data shows that traditional asset classes are failing to foster broader adoption among women, while crypto seems to have found more success.

This is good news for the crypto industry, as it highlights that more and more women are becoming interested in and involved with cryptocurrencies. This trend is likely to continue as awareness of and access to crypto grows.
