One of the awesome things about new technology is the opportunity that it offers the little guy and gal—people who haven’t always taken the lead. Like the opportunity many women have found in blockchain over the last few years, finally taking charge in innovation and the tech sector like never before.
Statistics show that women currently hold only 20% of tech jobs. In fact, there are fewer women working in tech than in the 1980s, so this industry isn’t exactly moving in the right direction. And when it comes to venture capital and old-school investment and finance, things aren’t much better.
That’s why the promise of blockchain is both massive and realistic: it’s the chance we’ve all been waiting for to level the playing field.
Because the primary values of blockchain are all about transparency and democracy, it’s really the ideal field for women to be moving into.
How many women over the years have shaken their heads and vowed that if they ran the world, things would be different? Now’s the chance, and women truly have gotten in on the ground floor over the past decade.
Today, they’re making a difference by creating fintech applications to make everything from investment to banking to land ownership to voting far, far simpler and more efficient for ordinary people by building them on the blockchain.
We’re so psyched about women in blockchain that we’ve put together this list of leading femfluencers in the blockchain world.

Every single woman listed here is an influencer and/or speaker who’s inspiring us right now with her exciting new ideas and powerful leadership. We’re almost at 200 right now and we hope you’ll keep the list growing by letting us know about other femfluencers who deserve credit for what they’re doing with blockchain.
We hope you’ll agree that when women win, when minorities win, when democracy and diversity win out over outdated establishments that hoard wealth and power for a tiny minority—we all win.
