However, our data shows that millennial women are embracing this technology and look at this as a new way of attaining financial independence. While the larger tech world is male-dominated, crypto being a new tech gives women the opportunity to take charge and lead it. Additionally, the decentralized nature of the industry translates to an even playing field, which welcomes skilled players, irrespective of gender. Owing to the simple user interface and the rising popularity of cryptocurrency as an investment class, we are extremely bullish about increased participation from women investors going forward too.”
