Breaking Barriers: Encouraging Women to Join the Crypto Industry
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- In a world rapidly being shaped by digital transformation, the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors have emerged as some of the most dynamic frontiers. Yet despite this fast-paced growth, one factor remains strikingly clear: the crypto industry is still largely male-dominated. It's time to change that. Why Women Belong in Crypto Cryptocurrency and blockchain are not just technologies—they're tools for economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and systemic innovation. Women bring unique perspectives, problem-solving approaches, and leadership styles that are crucial to driving ethical, user-focused, and sustainable growth in these spaces. From DeFi (decentralized finance) to NFTs (non-fungible tokens), from Web3 startups to DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), there's no shortage of opportunities for women to lead, innovate, and build. Barriers Still Exist Despite the promise, women face real barriers: lack of representation, technical gatekeeping, limited access to funding, and societal biases about financial and technical expertise. According to various industry reports, women make up less than 30% of the crypto workforce, and even fewer are in leadership positions. These challenges are not insurmountable—but overcoming them will require deliberate action. Steps to Encourage Women in Crypto 1. Education and Training Empowerment starts with knowledge. Free or low-cost courses, mentorship programs, and workshops tailored for women can break down the intimidation barrier and make blockchain and crypto more accessible. 2. Visible Role Models When women see other women leading in crypto—as founders, developers, investors, and thought leaders—they're more likely to envision themselves in those roles. Initiatives like Bitget's Blockchain4Her, which highlights and supports female leaders in Web3, are paving the way. 3. Community Building Safe, supportive, and inclusive communities where women can ask questions, share experiences, and collaborate are key. Groups like SheFi, Women in Blockchain, and B4H are creating valuable spaces for connection and growth. 4. Funding Women-Led Projects Access to capital is often a major roadblock. Investing in women-led startups and DAOs not only supports gender equity—it also makes good business sense. Diverse teams consistently outperform homogeneous ones. 5. Corporate Responsibility Crypto firms need to commit to inclusive hiring practices, mentorship pipelines, and internal education on unconscious bias. Inclusion can't just be a tagline; it must be a strategy. Inspiring the Next Generation Encouraging young girls to explore coding, fintech, and blockchain from an early age will help close the gender gap in future generations. Schools and youth programs should incorporate digital literacy and crypto fundamentals, ensuring young women see this as their space, too. When I first stepped into the crypto space, I didn't see many people who looked like me—let alone women leading teams or raising capital. As a former founder, I've been told to my face that investors wouldn't back a married woman without children. That kind of bias isn't just unfair—it's holding back the entire industry. At Bitget, we're working to change that through Blockchain4Her and beyond. We need to make sure women are seen, heard, and supported—not just as contributors, but as builders, innovators, and leaders. Because the future of finance can only be truly decentralized when it includes all of us. — Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget Conclusion: The Future Is Inclusive The crypto industry's potential to revolutionize finance and empower individuals is immense—but it will only reach its full potential if it reflects the diversity of the people it aims to serve. By encouraging more women to participate, lead, and innovate, we not only make the industry stronger—we make it fairer, smarter, and more representative. Let's create a Web3 world where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to build, belong, and thrive.

Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities
Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities SIARGAO, Philippines, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget , the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has launched its Starlink Program , bringing high-speed satellite internet to remote islands in the Philippines in a bold move to tackle digital inequality. The initiative, which kicked off in Siargao's Espoir School of Life and Barangay Pitogo , addresses chronic connectivity gaps that have long hindered education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By deploying Starlink's cutting-edge technology, Bitget aims to empower these communities with reliable internet access, laying the groundwork for future blockchain education and financial inclusion. For years, Siargao's residents have relied on fragile microwave radio connections, leaving them vulnerable to frequent outages, slow speeds, and exclusion from the digital economy. Schools like Espoir, which serves underprivileged children, struggle with offline-only learning, while villages like Barangay Pitogo face isolation due to unreliable communication networks. 'Without stable internet, entire communities are locked out of modern education, remote work, and even basic services like telemedicine. This isn't just about connectivity, it's about equity. Internet access shouldn't be a privilege, it's the foundation for everything from education to decentralized finance. We're building doors to the digital world one island at a time,' said Vugar Usi Zade, COO at Bitget. The program's first phase includes a Starlink hardware installation at Espoir School and Barangay Pitogo's public school. This will provide six months of high-speed satellite internet, enabling access to online curricula, teacher training, and e-governance tools. With this, Bitget plans to provide long-term support through $10M Blockchain 4 Youth and $10M Blockchain 4 Her initiatives, which will introduce blockchain literacy and digital finance skills to students and women-led cooperatives. The total investment of 155,400 Philippine pesos, which covers hardware, subscriptions, and logistics. A modest cost for transformative impact. Bitget's initiative shows a growing recognition in the crypto industry: Adoption starts with access. By addressing infrastructure barriers first, the exchange is creating a replicable model for other underserved regions. Future phases could expand to neighboring islands, leveraging partnerships with local NGOs and government units. The Starlink kits will go live in May, with Bitget documenting the rollout through impact reports and community stories. For Espoir's students, the change will be immediate: interactive lessons, global collaborations, and soon blockchain workshops. For Barangay Pitogo, it's a leap toward resilient communication during typhoon seasons. As Bitget scales this program, the message is clear: crypto's future isn't just about markets, it's about people. And sometimes, changing lives starts with something as simple as an internet signal.
