As the cryptocurrency industry experiences a surge in popularity, education initiatives focusing on blockchain technology and Web3 are rapidly gaining traction.
Organizers of the Women in Tech Global Summit 2024 recently announced their integration of Unstoppable Domain’s technology to create a Web3 top-level domain (TLD) called “.WITG.” This domain will provide each participant with a digital identity, facilitating networking, mentorship, and collaboration opportunities within the tech community.
A survey conducted by crypto exchange KuCoin revealed that 88% of young adults worldwide are eager to pursue careers in the blockchain space, with 75% showing a high interest in the Web3 sector. To address the demand for education in this field, KuCoin launched the KuCoin Campus initiative, offering offline events at schools and colleges globally to educate students about digital finance.
Similarly, Bitget’s Blockchain4Youth initiative celebrated its one-year anniversary with over 6,000 participants from 51 universities worldwide. The initiative offers Web3 certificates to participants who complete courses and exams, with plans to provide more scholarships and online courses in the future.
Even industry figures like Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, former CEO of Binance, are focusing on education. Zhao launched Giggle Academy, an educational initiative aimed at youth, emphasizing positivity and growth.
Additionally, the Institute of Crypto-Assets was established at the Léonard de Vinci Centre near Paris, overseen by a committee of industry practitioners. Led by figures such as Ledger co-founder Nicolas Bacca and Paymium founder Pierre Noizat, the institute aims to advance research and education in the crypto space.
These initiatives underscore the growing importance of education in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency and blockchain industry.
