About a third of women plan to buy cryptocurrencies this year, according to a new survey from BlockFi. Of these women, 60% said they plan to purchase digital assets in the next few months.

That's more than double the 29% of women who said they would make a purchase within the next year in a September 2021 survey.

“There is no better way to learn something new than by doing it — especially when diving into the seemingly complex world of cryptography,” said Flori Marquez, founder and SVP of operations at BlockFi, in a statement.

About one in four women already own crypto assets, and of that group, the majority of them have never sold what they bought.

The results also showed that women buy Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Ether the most - at 71%, 42% and 18% respectively. However, other sub-sectors in this space remain largely untapped by women, with only 5% having purchased an NFT or participated in crypto mining.

In general, the crypto sector is a heavily male-dominated industry. Of the 121 leading crypto companies, only five or 4.13% had female founders Research by Cryptohead. Of these founders – Marquez is one of them – all companies also have at least one male founder.

However, the number of women in the industry will increase. The BlockFi survey found that 15% of women are interested in working in crypto, but only 10% plan to apply to crypto or blockchain-focused companies within the next year.

“It is very exciting to know that women are becoming more aware of the benefits of owning crypto and expressing interest in working in the crypto sector,” said Marquez. “Now it is our responsibility to continue to close the education gap and provide as many entry points as possible so that women can easily access the crypto markets and feel comfortable doing more with their crypto.”

The survey was conducted in late January by an independent survey panel and consisted of 1,031 American women between the ages of 18 and 65. This is the third edition of their “Real Talk” survey, focusing on attitudes towards crypto, financial well-being and career aspirations.

“Looking forward, I hope crypto becomes an essential part of everyone’s plan for financial wellness,” Marquez said.
