Crypto-related job postings are up nearly 400% in the past year.

@BlockFi asked women about their interest in working in crypto and how they currently search for new opportunities. (Real Talk: Women x Crypto 2.0 survey)

Here’s what they said:

One in 10 women surveyed believes crypto is the most promising career sector. (Double the number of respondents who said fintech 👀)

15% of women surveyed are interested in a career in crypto with one in 10 planning to apply to a role at crypto or blockchain-focused company in the next year.

Nearly half (49%) of respondents use their friends and family to find job opportunities – more than job boards, professional networking, LinkedIn & Twitter.

Flori Marquez @FounderFlori, co-founder at BlockFi knows first-hand that there's no better way to learn about something new than by simply diving in, especially if it's the complex world of crypto. 🥚

Women are interested in crypto no doubt, but there are still some gaps the survey revealed as it relates to crypto and broader financial wellness:

92% of women surveyed have heard of crypto with nearly one in four (24%) already owning some. Conversely, 80% still find crypto confusing, and 72% feel it’s too risky to invest in.

"It’s our responsibility to continue to close the education gap and provide as many on-ramps as possible, so women can easily gain exposure to crypto markets and get comfortable doing more with their crypto,” @FounderFlori said.
