Nearly 1 in 3 Women Plan to Buy Crypto This Year: BlockFi Survey
Women Having Increased Interest Towards Crypto
BlockFi’s latest survey depicts double interest in women’s attitude towards cryptocurrencies, conducted from a previous survey in September 2021 that showed 29% of women were interested in buying crypto next year.
The research also found that about one in four women already own cryptocurrencies and of that group, the majority of them have never sold what they’ve bought. In addition, women seem highly interested in purchasing Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Ether (ETH) at 71 percent, 42 percent, and 18 percent, respectively.
However, other subsectors in the crypto industry remain untouched by women with only 5% having bought a non-fungible token (NFT) or involved in crypto mining.
“There’s no better way to learn about something new than by doing especially when diving into the seemingly complex world of crypto,” Flori Marquez, founder and senior vice president of operations of BlockFi, said in a statement.
Crypto Industry Still Dominated by Males
BlockFi's latest survey was conducted by a third-party survey panel at the end of January 2022 and consisted of 1,031 female Americans between the ages of 18 and 65 and a part of the third edition of its 'Real Talk' survey.
The crypto sector overall remains a male-dominated industry. According to research conducted by Crypto Head, out of the 121 leading crypto companies, only five of them, or 4.13%, had female founders. Of those founders, Marquez is one of them.
