Binance has announced its official sponsorship of the Association for Women in Cryptocurrency (AWIC), joining a global initiative to promote gender equality and expand opportunities for women in the blockchain and Web3 space.
The move aligns with Binance’s broader mission to enhance financial freedom and inclusion through crypto. By backing AWIC, the world’s largest crypto exchange is deepening its commitment to ensuring women are active participants in building the future of digital finance.
AWIC, recognized as the leading global community for women in the crypto industry, provides education, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help women advance in a field still dominated by men. Binance’s sponsorship will support AWIC’s initiatives aimed at increasing access, awareness, and participation across both public and private sectors.
Amanda Wick, Founder and CEO of AWIC, welcomed Binance’s support, noting the exchange’s strong internal diversity benchmarks.
“Binance has been a key ally in promoting inclusion, with women making up nearly 40% of its workforce and holding significant leadership roles,”
she said.
“They’re not just supporting the cause externally — they’re living it internally.”
Binance highlighted that crypto was built to challenge traditional financial barriers and now serves as a crucial gateway for the 1.4 billion people globally who remain unbanked — a disproportionate number of whom are women. By joining AWIC, Binance aims to expand educational efforts and develop new initiatives to help bridge this gap.
As part of the partnership, Binance will engage in AWIC-led training, mentoring, and global outreach programs designed to bring more women into the crypto ecosystem. The collaboration also aims to increase female representation across the crypto sector through policy advocacy, awareness campaigns, and leadership development.
Binance says the partnership is a step forward in building a more equitable digital financial future.
In parallel development, Binance has also released its May 2025 Proof of Reserves report, underscoring its commitment to transparency and financial stability. The report confirms that Binance holds over 100% collateralization across 37 major digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT).
