Bitget Pledges $10M to Close Crypto's Gender Participation Gap

Despite controlling a significant share of global wealth, women hold just 25% of cryptocurrency users globally, according to data from Bitget. The exchange is using this statistic to frame its Crypto Anti-Bias Pledge ahead of International Women's Day.

In an effort to bridge the gap, Bitget has launched a $10 million Blockchain4Her program and partnered with UNICEF to target blockchain education for 1.1 million people by 2027, with approximately 90% of participants expected to be girls and young women.

The pledge covers three areas: education and access, equal opportunity, and zero tolerance for workplace harassment. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the industry's adoption ceiling is structurally limited by excluding half the global population.
