Leading digital payments platform, Wirex, in partnership with popular fintech publication, UKTN, have announced the longlist of women on their 2021 ‘Rising Women in Crypto Power List’.

After a highly successful first year, the 2021 Power List is back. This list seeks nominations from female leaders in the crypto sector that have helped the industry thrive. With over 200 entries, the list aims to showcase the extensive and diverse roles that women are playing within the crypto sector, featuring those from the DeFi, legal & compliance, marketing, journalism, graphic design and coding sectors. Over 50 countries have been mentioned including India, Brazil and the USA.

The ‘Rising Women in Crypto Power List’ is part of Wirex’s wider ‘Women in Crypto’ campaign, endeavouring to showcase the incredible things that women in the crypto sector are doing. Aligning with Wirex’s core mission, it aims to prove that anyone and everyone can get involved in crypto, countering its male-dominated stereotype and inviting women to experience the benefits of the digital economy too.

The 2021 ‘Power List’ was launched last month with a brand-new event, ‘Women in Crypto: Tech, Innovation & Digitisation‘. It was hosted live by Level39, a London tech accelerator. Six female leaders spoke about DeFi, payment, and NFTs. Women from around the world were inspired by the insights of panellists who shared unique and never-before-heard perspectives. This also highlighted the many exciting roles that women have in crypto, regardless their experience or background.

On the 11th of November the Power List’s final winners will be revealed. They are being determined by the newly announced judging panel. Representing highly experienced crypto experts and those with a deep-rooted passion for the initiative, it will include George Coxon, Director of the Nano Foundation & Appia; Amy Barker, Global Head of People at Wirex; Hedi Krueger, Director of Digital & Innovation at Mastercard (NYSE:); Ria Shetty, Ambassador of the European Women in Payments Network; and Ada Vaughan, Growth & Partnerships at the Stellar Development Foundation. This will determine the winners based upon their achievements, potential and influence as well as leadership skills and innovation.

Lottie Wells, Senior PR & Events Manager that played a pivotal role in managing the Power List, expressed: “The variety of roles and number of entries to the Power List this year once again shows the huge range of opportunities there are for women to get involved in the crypto sector. It’s an honour to celebrate all the women included and use Wirex and UKTN’s networks to spread awareness of this important message. I can’t wait to work with the judges to finalise the top 10 women on the shortlist.”
