Binance’s IWD 2025: Closing the Crypto Gender Gap

While gender equality has improved, men still dominate the crypto space. Binance is determined to change this by providing women with more opportunities to engage in Web3. It’s also creating pathways for them to thrive in the industry. Binance’s Chief Marketing Officer, Rachel Conlan, highlighted the company’s efforts towards gender inclusion, stating that women now make up 40% of its employees and half of its marketing team.

“Binance continues to be a trailblazer in advancing gender diversity in crypto and tech. Although strides have been made, there is more to be done to bring more women into crypto. Through our International Women’s Day initiatives, we seek to empower and motivate women, creating financial empowerment,” Conlan said. She added that the initiatives also aim to break barriers to industry education and engagement.

In addition to International Women’s Day, Binance also supports women-led projects via mentorship classes, network relationships, and workshops. Among these projects, Binance Turkey’s Women in Technology Academy has already benefited more than 1,000 women. It plans to educate another 5,000 women in the coming five years.

This initiative is one of the many projects launched by Binance in the direction of opening up the cryptocurrency world and making it more diverse. Through learning and training, Binance aims to close the gender divide in Web3 and blockchain, thereby making it possible for women to take part and access the future digital economy.
