Forty-Three Percent of Investors Interested in BTC are Women

According to the report, the digital currency space is mainly believed to be dominated by males. Furthermore, according to Google Analytics, more than 90 percent of Bitcoin (BTC) community engagement is male. Nevertheless, the data revealed in the survey contradicts all these perceptions.

Women See Investment As a Way of Protecting Themselves

According to the report, women tend to see investments as a way of protecting themselves and their families instead of a way to get rich. For instance, 60 percent of them gave more importance to financial security than creating wealth, while just 48 percent of men shared this view. This shows that women are more risk-averse than men are.
