Since the birth of Bitcoin in 2009, digital currencies have continued to develop, showing an application curve similar to that of the Internet. Today, millions of people rely on Web3 to get everything done. However, women, a very valuable group, seem to have become spectators in the story of Web3. As blockchain technology shows its potential to democratize finance, we must learn from the mistakes of other industries and avoid falling into the trap of gender inequality. The blockchain industry has a responsibility to support the development of female practitioners in Web3, while also providing opportunities for female investors in the broad market to gain cryptocurrency knowledge and education. Binance’s mission is to make money flow freely around the world. Increasing the diversity of the cryptocurrency ecosystem is an important part of achieving this mission, allowing blockchain to realize its full potential. Through a series of events and programs, we hope to help all women interested in crypto gain cryptocurrency knowledge. It’s Women’s History Month again. On this special day, let us look back at the achievements of the past and work hard towards a future of equal development. Binance’s contribution to funding Web3 education for women In 2022, Binance donated $2 million to charity to provide Web3 scholarships to more than 36,000 women. In 2023, Binance Charity will focus on women and underrepresented groups and continue to fund relevant courses, projects and scholarships. A 2023 survey by TripleA revealed that women accounted for only 37% of cryptocurrency owners. We believe that education is crucial to promoting the accessibility of digital finance to different groups and building digital finance with multi-party participation. Women like Chidinma and Ebeh from Germany, Nigeria, Kenya, Brazil, France, South Africa, Australia and Ukraine have been awarded scholarships for 2022, which will fund their studies at universities, schools and non-profits. For-profit organizations take courses related to blockchain and cryptocurrency.In honor of Women’s History Month (March) and International Women’s Day (March 8), Binance Charity has made a special donation of $100,000 to the Georgia Innovation and Technology Authority (GITA) to support Web3 education and training for women. Helen Hai, head of Binance Charity, said: “In the five years since Binance Charity was founded, we have helped more than two million women through education and humanitarian programs. But unfortunately, there are still quite a few women who suffer from inequality, insufficient educational opportunities, The impact of important social issues such as poverty, we will also focus on and solve these problems in the long term." In February 2023, Binance held the first "Crypto Women" event in Dubai, bringing together novice and experienced female investors to share insights , in-depth communication and exchange, and jointly explore the opportunities that Web3 provides for women around the world. On this basis, we plan to carry out regional and international activities to connect female groups with web3 management capabilities. Bringing Web3 Gender “Selection Preferences” Closer A recent CoinJournal report shows that women account for less than 5% of the founders of top cryptocurrency companies; in addition, as of 2022, among more than 10,000 companies surveyed , only 292 were founded by women. Yi He, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Binance, is one of the first female executives in the industry. She is determined to help more women succeed in the cryptocurrency industry. He Yi said: “As one of the few female leaders in the industry, I believe it is our unshirkable responsibility to help more women understand Web3 and blockchain technology through Binance Charity and Binance Academy. Our education and internship programs Help young women master relevant knowledge and skills and become industry disruptors. We believe that everyone with ideas can change the world, regardless of gender. We hope that our efforts will allow more women to stand at the forefront of innovation and promote the industry Change." Cryptocurrency is still in the early stages of development, and we can always learn from the technology industry and continue to accumulate experience. We should consider education as a top priority. Web3 creates a unique opportunity for us to engage various groups in the industry at its earliest stages. As the industry continues to develop, the demand for talents is also increasing day by day. This is the best time to cultivate more outstanding female practitioners.Promoting the development of education is of far-reaching significance. Putting education first can help more women grow into well-trained and qualified practitioners and solve the gender gap problem from the source.
