Crypto education initiatives are rapidly gaining popularity in the midst of a thriving industry. The organizers of the Women in Tech Global Summit 2024 recently announced their integration of Unstoppable Domain’s technology for their own Web3 top-level domain (TLD). This domain, known as “.WITG,” will be assigned to each participant and will allow them to network, access education, and receive training related to blockchain and artificial intelligence.
The Women in Tech Global Summit organizers explained that the purpose of the “.WITG” TLD is to create a strong sense of community and identity among women in the tech industry. They believe that by “using the tech to learn the tech,” this innovative domain will provide women with the necessary tools to succeed in the digital space.
A survey conducted by crypto exchange KuCoin revealed that 88% of young adults from a global sample of 1,900 respondents expressed their eagerness to pursue careers in the blockchain field, with 75% showing a high level of interest in the Web3 sector. However, only 15% of the respondents claimed to have more than three years of experience in blockchain. In response to this, KuCoin launched the KuCoin Campus initiative, which organizes offline events at educational institutions worldwide to educate students about digital finance.
Similarly, Bitget, a crypto exchange, celebrated the one-year anniversary of its $10 million Blockchain4Youth initiative with over 6,000 participants. More than 51 universities, including University College London and National Technological University of Argentina, took part in the initiative and awarded over 2,000 Web3 certificates to those who completed the courses and passed the final exams. Bitget plans to continue offering scholarships globally and launching additional online courses and content featuring influential figures in the crypto industry to capture the attention of young individuals.
Even Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, has shifted his focus to education since stepping down from his position in November 2023. CZ introduced his latest educational initiative, Giggle Academy, with the aim of promoting youth, fun, positive energy, and growth. He expressed his intention to catch up on development once the scaling phase begins.
In November 2023, the Institute of Crypto-Assets, a unique scientific board, was established at the Léonard de Vinci Centre near Paris. Led by a committee of six practitioners, including Nicolas Bacca, co-founder of Ledger, and Pierre Noizat, founder of Paymium, the institute will oversee various crypto-related projects.
In conclusion, the crypto education sector is experiencing significant growth, with various initiatives and initiatives aimed at empowering individuals in the industry and spreading awareness about blockchain and related technologies.
