According to the 2022 report "What Women Want in Web3" by The Female Quotient and EWG Unlimited, 75% of women are aware of the metaverse, but only 30% know how to use it to their advantage.

Recent statistics show that women are widely underrepresented: just 16% of NFT artists (ArtTactic) and 15% of BTC traders (Bloomberg) are female, and make up only 5% of all crypto entrepreneurs, according to a study by Crypto Head last year.

The importance of diversity in GameFi

Female players make up more than 45% of the total gaming population, yet only 35% felt represented in the games they played, according to Meta's 2020 research report.

How Web3 is shaking up the fashion sector

As an industry known for innovation, it should come as no surprise that the fashion world has embraced Web3 with open arms.
