Blockchain is considered one of the key technologies of the future - yet women remain significantly underrepresented. African American women in particular face barriers to entry and leadership roles. The thesis, "The Gender Gap in Blockchain Systems Women"s Perspective on Their Involvement in Blockchain Technology" by Amanda Van Annan, published in September 2025 by GRIN, examines the causes and outlines ways to foster diversity and inclusion.
In recent years, blockchain has emerged as a groundbreaking technology. It enables decentralized, secure, and transparent processes and is increasingly used in business and the public sector. Yet despite its potential, a clear imbalance remains, only about 14% of employees in blockchain are women, with just 7% in leadership roles. This thesis explores the roots of this disparity and provides insights into the experiences of African American women in the industry.

Power, Trust, and Leadership in a Divided Ecosystem

The book addresses the central question highlighting factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of African American women in blockchain systems. It examines how race and gender shape opportunities in the sector, how trust and transparency affect leadership positions, and which strategies can support a more inclusive future. "Gender Gap in Blockchain Systems" speaks not only to professionals and policymakers in technology but also to academics, journalists, and a wider readership interested in diversity in digital transformation. By combining scholarly analysis with socio-political relevance, Van Annan makes an important contribution to current debates on equality, innovation, and participation - while also highlighting practical approaches for building a more equitable blockchain ecosystem.

This book was published by GRIN Publishing in October 2025 (ISBN 978-3-38915-818-0).
