33% of moms don’t get time from their daily schedule to think about the investment.
UK Managing Director at eToro, Iqbal V. Gandham said,
“This research suggests that in many cases women want to invest but don’t know where to start. This no longer needs to be the case. Technology has transformed the investment world from a small, opaque club into a community that anyone can tap into. This should be to the benefit of prospective female investors.”
Survey statistic by eToro demonstrates that 90% of enlisted ladies on the eToro platform has invested in crypto resources. It likewise uncovers that the best crypto resources picked by ladies were:
Ripple (XRP) is 56%
Bitcoin (BTC) is 15%

Litecoin (LTC) is 6% and
Stellar (XLM) is 3%
Founder of Mumsnet, Justine Roberts said,
“This research shows that when it comes to investing, contrary to popular belief, it’s not all about the men. Women are keen to understand their options when it comes to investing and more should be done to equip them with the guidance and knowledge to get started.”
