Female financial participation is accelerating across emerging markets. Recent data shows 73% of women in low- and middle-income regions now hold active financial accounts—a significant 7-point jump from 2021. This surge reflects growing digital adoption and expanded access to banking services. The momentum matters for crypto and decentralized finance too: as traditional banking gaps narrow globally, more users—particularly women—are entering the financial system with fresh perspectives on assets and tools. This demographic shift signals both mainstream financial maturation and expanding potential for Web3 solutions in underserved regions.
