Cryptocurrencies: a feminist response to a male-dominated world


According to a US survey conducted by Acorns and media outlet CNBC published in August 2021, men invest twice as much as women in crypto-currencies (16% versus 7%). — AFP Relaxnews

While cryptocurrencies are not the exclusive domain of men, men are nevertheless twice as likely to get involved as women. Yet another inequality in the world of finance and tech, which some "cyber-feminist" communities are attempting to combat.

It’s the same old story each year. Around the time of International Women's Day, the media takes the occasion to point out the underrepresentation of women in the tech world. And the world of cryptocurrency, at the crossroads of tech and finance, is no stranger to such inequality.
