2022 saw the continued rise of disruptive blockchain-centric concepts such as decentralized finance, GameFi, nonfungible tokens and Web3. Notably, some of the related projects that thrived in 2022 were headed by women, which is a good indicator of progress in an otherwise male-dominated sector.
The increased involvement of women in the cryptocurrency field signals growing inclusivity and maturation of the sector, which encourages diversity and the embrace of ideas that resonate more with underrepresented subsets of the population.
That said, a group of eminent women reached unprecedented levels of accomplishment in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries in 2022 due to their ambition, innovation, leadership skills and dedication.
Cointelegraph had the chance to speak with Nodira Sadikova, a venture capitalist and mergers and acquisitions adviser in Web3. She affirmed this positive development while noting that there was a new category of women under 30 who were making an impact in the industry.
“We can see the rising rate of bright and talented women under 30, such as Nastya Moroz (crypto trading and investment courses exclusively for women), Daria Lomova (art adviser and curator of digital art exhibitions), Stella Friaisse (crypto podcaster and event organizer) and many more,” Sadikova said, adding:
“This army of extremely bold personalities changed the market and generated new trends and opportunities for women who did not have the courage to step into the crypto industry.”
The following is an outline of the women who made waves in the crypto industry in 2022.

The Lightning Network is a layer-2 scaling solution that allows users to transact BTC quickly and at a lower cost than transacting on the primary chain.
Her firm offers a series of auxiliary services mostly related to the Lightning Network that include high-volume micropayment services. It achieves this by leveraging a bidirectional micropayment channeling process that allows transactions to be processed at a faster rate, which helps to reduce transaction fees.
