Women show an increased interest in cryptocurrency investments, with most favorable to long -term strategies and lower risk assets, such as Bitcoin, despite reporting a lack of industry knowledge, in accordance with the novel Bitpand survey divided only with CointeLgraph.
According to the survey, 50% of cryptographic women-investors prioritize the long-term financial growth, and 49% had digital assets for up to five years, and 39% plan to stop for over five years.
Women also prefer safer digital resources. Bitcoin (BTC) remains the most popular investment choice, with 30% of respondents choosing it as the first digital investment compared to 24% men.
Over 54% of 1,400 surveyed investors made the first investments in Bitcoin, Ether (ETH) or XRP (XRP).

“Women tend to build more diverse wallets and focus on the long -term creation of wealth, and not prosecution of short -term profits,” according to Graca Chen, CEO of Bitget Cryptowarts Exchange:
“This measured approach is exactly what a cryptographic ecosystem needs – investors who understand the technological foundations and look outside market noise.”

“Women usually accept the” sitting in their hands “investment style, with a lower frequency of trade than men, said Chen, citing the study of Charles Stanley:
“While men made an average of 13 transactions a year, women performed only 9. This patience and strategic thinking beautifully translate into cryptographic markets, where emotional reactions to variability often lead to losses.”

NKIRIA, co -founder of the Blockchain Mansa liquidity platform, believes that it reflects this basic difference in investment psychology between men and women:
“Women approach investing differently as part of a wider strategy for building wealth. When we invest in bitcoins, we often consider his place in a diverse portfolio, not watching it in insulation. “
“The preference of maintenance may also consist in analyzing how investments can change. Instead of reactive selling during dips, investors usually observe how assets behave through market cycles – she added.
“We do not chase profits from day to day” or “Fomo -based decisions”
Most women prefer bitcoins, but not necessarily due to risk aversion.
“This approach often results from thorough research and strategic patience,” according to Mary Pedler, the founder of Input Comms Blockchain and technology -oriented communication agency.
“Many women who have worked and communicated with deep research before investing and rarely making decisions based on FOMO,” said Cointelegraph, adding:
“When we invest in Bitcoin, after understanding his basic proposal of values - we do not chase profits overnight; We build generational wealth. “
More women entering cryptocurrencies, but there are challenges
While cryptocurrency investors are growing, lack of education remains the main challenge for the main cryptographic trend among women.
According to Bitpanda, over 81% of respondents confessed to inexperienced investors, with 24% of investors cite a lack of investment knowledge, and 41% indicated financial restrictions in accordance with BitPanda’s survey.

However, Bitpanda women showed a constant growth. Women who began to invest in January 2024, knew an average raise by 8.1% in their investments over the past year.
Chen Highlighted that only 26% of cryptographic owners are women.
To fill this gap, initiatives such as Women in Ethereum Protocol (WIEP) to underline It is necessary to properly education, clear tips and structured support to encourage more women to enter the cryptographic space.
“Women need adequate education, clear tips and support, starting with small investment amounts,” said representatives of the WIEP CointeLgraph.
