Women now contribute to 15 per cent of the total trading volume, according to a survey conducted by crypto exchange Giottus.
This surge is driven by increased financial literacy among women, digital awareness, and the perception of crypto as a viable investment avenue.
Women investors in India are entering the crypto market at an increased pace, with their participation in crypto investments surged 20 per cent year-on-year between January 2024 and January 2025, according to a survey conducted by crypto exchange Giottus.
“Women now contribute to 15 per cent of the total trading volume. Women investors are seen to be favouring long-term investments and stable assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This signifies more than just increased representation — it is also indicative of a balanced, cautious investment approach in a traditionally volatile market,” Giottus said in a statement.
This surge is driven by increased financial literacy, digital awareness, and the perception of crypto as a viable investment avenue.
Contrary to the perception of crypto as primarily youth-driven, the analysis notes the dominant role of those in the 36-50 age group.
“This segment contributes 32 per cent of total traders. This demographic, characterised by higher disposable incomes and mature investment outlooks, complements the cautious trading style often adopted by women investors,” it added.
Women from tier-2 and tier-3 cities account for a major chunk of trading volumes, it added.
Giottus said the trend of rising female participation is expected to continue. “Increased women’s participation will entail a more stable, strategic, and inclusive crypto investment landscape.”
