Binance has officially joined the Association for Women in Cryptocurrency (AWIC) as a strategic sponsor, reinforcing its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within the crypto and Web3 industry. The partnership will support a wide range of initiatives including mentorship, leadership development, and educational programs aimed at empowering women in digital finance.

Promoting Equity Through Industry Collaboration

As part of the collaboration, Binance will actively participate in AWIC’s global efforts to foster greater representation of women in blockchain, from entry-level talent to leadership. The company will contribute to mentorship programs, sponsor networking events, and work on joint awareness campaigns that spotlight women’s roles and impact across the crypto ecosystem.

Amanda Wick, Founder and CEO of AWIC, welcomed the partnership, stating:

“Binance has been a valuable ally for inclusion. Women at Binance help develop, market, and support products that empower others to participate in the future of finance.”

The Case for Inclusion in Crypto

Despite crypto’s foundational promise to democratize finance, industry participation remains skewed. Global data shows that over 1.4 billion people remain unbanked, with a disproportionate share being women. In regions where traditional financial access is limited, crypto offers an alternative—but only if the industry reflects the diversity of those it aims to serve.

Binance's engagement with AWIC aligns with its broader mission to increase financial access for underserved communities and to create inclusive pathways into Web3 innovation.

Internal Commitment to Representation

Women currently comprise nearly 40% of Binance’s global workforce, with leadership roles spanning multiple departments. The company has also invested in grassroots outreach, community-building, and education campaigns to promote gender inclusivity in fintech.

Through this partnership, Binance aims to scale its impact by supporting initiatives that bring more women into the crypto economy as users, builders, and leaders.

Next Steps: Education, Mentorship, and Advocacy

Binance will collaborate with AWIC on:

Mentorship and leadership development programs

Educational initiatives for new crypto users

Sponsorship of community-building events

Advocacy campaigns to elevate women's voices in Web3

The alliance reflects a long-term vision of inclusive crypto infrastructure, where technology serves diverse global populations equitably.
