A recent report by the World Economic Forum shows the gender gap will take 135 years to close, and according to Cointelegraph, it is especially pronounced in fields like blockchain.
Marija Matic is an excellent example of how that gap can best be closed.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in business from The London School of Economics and Political Science and a master’s degree in banking and financial management from the University of Business Studies of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Considering the potential bank run, Marija Matić from Weiss Ratings revealed that despite the serious allegations, less than 2% of the BTC from Binance exchange reserves had been withdrawn in five hours following the news. According to data from Coinglass, this is a lukewarm reaction compared to the response FTX received in a similar situation. It indicates that the crypto community may have confidence in Binance’s ability to handle this crisis, at least in the short term.
Adding another layer of complexity, the SEC claimed that Binance’s native token BNB and its stablecoin BUSD are unregistered securities. This puts into question the future of 12 other cryptocurrencies, with a combined value of $86 billion. It also alleged that several other assets on the Binance platforms are unregistered securities, including Solana Cardano and Polygon
Notably, Ethereum was not on the SEC’s list, which might come as a relief to ETH enthusiasts. However, Matić cautions not to celebrate too soon, as the reasons for listing tokens as securities could potentially apply to the majority of tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem.
The criteria used by the SEC seem diverse, and in some instances might appear overreaching. Routine activities of many cryptocurrencies — fundraising through token sales for ecosystem development, providing updates on network growth and developments on a blog, announcing public listings, and making certain promotional claims — have all been flagged as issues.
Matić suggests that such broad criteria could apply to almost any cryptocurrency and raises questions about the specific selection of coins targeted in the lawsuit." (MarketWatch)
