Move over men, the number of “crypto queens” or rather female crypto investors is on the rise

A new report from Australian cryptocurrency exchange BTC Markets says the crypto market is maturing and no longer driver by speculation.

The report finds that the number of female investors has grown at a faster rate than males.

In fact, the number of female investors surged by 126 per cent in comparison to the number of male investors, which increased by just over 80 per cent

BTC Markets found most new clients are between 45 to 59 years old and come from Australia’s “mature wealth accumulators”.

Like crypto queens – investors in this age bracket are dominating new crypto opportunities.

BTC Markets CEO Caroline Bowler says the trend is encouraging to see people who are cautious, preparing for retirement investing in crypto.

“They bring a wealth of experience in traditional investment markets and their decision to invest in crypto is not driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO) but on strategic research and information,” Bowler says.

The crypto exchange also revealed that Bitcoin and Ethereum continued to be the most traded tokens on the platform last year.
