Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are part of the latest tech booms alongside technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Besides being part of the evolution of the whole cryptosphere, many of these women also play important roles in the adoption of cryptos in various mainstream fields including commerce and banking.

Here is a brief look at some of the most notable women who are making a name for themselves in the blockchain and crypto industry.

1. Joyce Kim

Joyce Kim is the executive director and co-founder of Stellar.org. Before getting involved in the cryptosphere, Joyce started her career as an attorney at Sherman & Sterling and Wilmer Hale.

In 2006 she became the CEO of Soompi and co-founded Simplehoney, a mobile commerce startup in 2011.

Nowadays, Joyce fights to empower the unbanked and to tackle global inequality.
