Harnessing the power of Web3, NFTs have democratized the art industry and given creators and collectors of all cultures and backgrounds a platform for true ownership, equity building, and a sense of connection with their community. But the NFT and crypto landscape remains heavily dominated by men. Aligning to the true promise of NFTs, Seneca Women and Nifty Gateway want to bring more women into the NFT and crypto space to ensure that women are part of one of the most dynamic and disruptive artistic and economic developments in recent history.
“Over the past decade, institutions from the World Bank to McKinsey have demonstrated that investing in women drives both economic and social progress. Yet women still have difficulty achieving economic parity. We are now at a unique moment in history when NFTs, crypto and DeFi have the potential to greatly expand financial inclusion. Combine that with the power of women and what you get is the potential for exponential growth and impact, what we at Seneca Women like to think of as WoFi–where the women’s economy meets Web3,” “We are thrilled to partner with Nifty Gateway, Gemini and these exceptional women artists on The Seneca Women Equality Collection, which we hope will bring more women into Web3 and help us all envision a world where equality prevails.”
“At Gemini and Nifty Gateway we are committed to welcoming more women into the crypto and NFT communities, and that starts with education,” . “Seneca Women’s vision for this project directly addresses a lingering challenge in the market we are dedicated to addressing together. We have the educational resources in place to support women in their crypto and NFT journey, and want to strengthen this with the strong Seneca Women community. We hope this collection will encourage more women to get involved in this next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom.”
Artists who contribute to this project, which will go live on , will be featured on Nifty Gateway’s marketplace, which has supported 1,000 creators and bolstered high-profile drops.
