The team at digital asset firm Okcoin is following on their announcement in December 2021 to launch “Crypto for All,” which is described as an initiative “aimed at democratizing knowledge and access to crypto.”
Here are the initiatives that Okcoin is currently supporting and also their intentions to make 2022 “the year of Crypto for All.”
For now, crypto engagement remains “concentrated, both in terms of gender (male) and locality (North America),” the team at Okcoin claims. With Crypto for All, they’re “striving to change that:”
The firm says it will be investing in educational content “to fit the unique needs of women, people of color, and more.” They’re funding crypto developers and entrepreneurs “coming from underrepresented groups.”
Additionally, they are “helping more diverse talent work on crypto ecosystem projects and careers.” Furthermore, they are supporting people and projects “building towards an inclusive future of finance, in order to help the disadvantaged, unbanked populations who need crypto the most.”
Okcoin confirmed that they “already partner with some key people to take crypto inclusion to the next level:”
