Current statistics show that women’s participation in the blockchain industry is still very low, yet the sector provides a great opportunity for them. For a quick idea of how big the industry is, the recent report reveals that revenue from the blockchain industry is expected to increase from US$3 billion in 2020 to US$39.7 billion in 2025.
Similarly, the statistics for India show the prospect of exponential growth in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. For example, a recent study concluded that the blockchain industry could boost India’s GDP by US$1.7 trillion by 2030. Interestingly, some of India’s states such as Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra support the development of the blockchain industry. Do these findings not support the need for women to actively participate in the industry?
Well, an Indian-based Crypto-PR firm, Bit2Buzz with the collaboration of fintech news portal, Coinpedia is hosting an online crypto-blockchain event on 8th March 2021.
