I have been gathering a lot of information and writing a lot about some of the biggest crypto influencers in this cryptocurrency space, but it was surprising to see the gender bias in this space. Even after a lot of research, it was hard to come up with a story about someone who is associated with the cryptocurrency space and is a woman.
Not only this but, with every industry, it is hard to see any names on the top shelf who is a woman, and the fact itself is very surprising looking at the rate by which the world is adopting the newer status quo of genders. I think it won’t be long until we start seeing names of different genders on the top space.
Talking about gender bias I would like to know your thoughts on this sensitive topic. Well, I did not cover any story about women yet but, it will change today as I have come up with a name who is not only a woman associated with this crypto space but, is the only woman who is in the top 25 cryptocurrency tycoons list identified globally and is a millionaire too in this lucrative space. While this might not be surprising but, if you come to think about it or you can just do a quick google search about the top cryptocurrency influencers around the world and you will not find a single name who is not a man. Think about it!
So, let’s get to the point. Today we will be talking about the real one and only OG Blythe Masters, who is she?
Well, I am here to answer that and tour you through the life of this global blockchain and crypto tycoon who is also a woman and read till the end to know about the Net-worth summing around some huge numbers.
Blyth Masters Introduction
Masters was born in March 1969 in Oxford, United Kingdom which makes her also the first Briton to be known in this space along with being the only woman. She completed her education at the University of Cambridge studying Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 1991.
Soon after completing her formal education and working at few places in her internship years, she joined J.P Morgan as the head of global credit derivatives, Structuring credit derivative products and related credit risk management strategies, both for J.P. Morgan and its clients. She became the managing director at the early age of 28, which was a first timer for the firm as she was the youngest and a woman to achieve that in her age.
She is mostly known for her contribution in creating the credit default swap, now you may have the question that what is a “Credit default swap”?
Well according to Investopedia “A credit default swap (CDS) is a financial derivative or contract that allows an investor to “swap” or offset his or her credit risk with that of another investor. … To swap the risk of default, the lender buys a CDS from another investor who agrees to reimburse the lender in the case the borrower defaults.”
Soon in 2007, she became the head of commodities in JP morgan after handling and excelling in various roles offered by the institution.
When she left the bank after a 27-year long career, she was known as the highest profiled woman all over wall street.
Masters then joined the blockchain startup named “Digital asset holdings” serving as the CEO of the company and was also known by different names like the blockchain queen or the blockchain cheerleader. She stepped down from the position of CEO in 2018. According to the statements released by the company it was due to her reason but, some of the sources lead to the fact that the 2018 bitcoin crash might be one of the reasons.
Nevertheless, she remained as one of the advisors and as a board member of the company.
Blyth Masters Networth
The NetWorth of the blockchain queen or the crypto queen is assumed to be around $1 million $5 million while the figures are not clear, and the sources are controversial too. Some sources say that most of her earnings are from entrepreneurial careers, and some believe she has her share of crypto holdings including bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.
