Binance, a major player in the cryptocurrency industry, recently launched a women’s fragrance called “CRYPTO,” sparking a wave of criticism online. Many users have accused Binance of perpetuating sexist stereotypes by marketing a perfume to women in an attempt to attract them to the crypto space.

While it’s common for cryptocurrency companies to offer non-crypto accessories like t-shirts and phone covers, Binance’s move to launch a perfume is unprecedented in the industry. The fragrance is being promoted ahead of International Women’s Day as a way to encourage more women to get involved in cryptocurrency.

Despite efforts to increase gender diversity in the tech industry, women are still underrepresented in computing and technology sectors. According to a report by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), only 26% of positions in these sectors are filled by women, despite making up 49% of the overall US workforce.

Following the announcement of the “CRYPTO” perfume, social media users were quick to criticize Binance for what they saw as a tone-deaf marketing strategy. Many pointed out the need for more opportunities and recognition for women in the crypto space, rather than a scented product.

Women in crypto: we need more opportunities for female voices in this space. We expect recognition and open roles for the utility we can provide. Binance: we present to you: FEMALE perfume.

Despite the backlash, Binance’s “CRYPTO” perfume has generated a mix of reactions online, with some users creating memes and launching rival fragrances in response to the controversial marketing move.

As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve, it is essential for companies like Binance to consider the diverse needs and perspectives of their users, including women who are seeking more inclusive opportunities in the crypto space.
