PRESS RELEASE

Bitget Champions Women Shaping Education-First Web3 Growth in the Philippines

Manila, Philippines —  Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), highlighted the growing impact of women-led Web3 education and advocacy in the Philippines through its flagship women-in-blockchain initiative, Blockchain4Her. The initiative supports women who are advancing blockchain literacy, community access, and responsible participation across emerging digital economies.

Blockchain4Her is designed to elevate and empower women in blockchain through education-first programs, grassroots partnerships, and community-led advocacy. By focusing on access, knowledge, and long-term inclusion, the initiative aims to close the gender gap in Web3 and create pathways for women to participate as builders, educators, and decision-makers.

In the Philippines, a market shaped by strong grassroots adoption and a rapidly expanding digital economy, Blockchain4Her has supported women working at the intersection of education, community-building, and responsible innovation. Advocates, including Bea Llana, Arshelene “Tita Arsh” Lingao, and MaryWave (Wave3), have emerged as leading voices helping women and young people approach Web3 with clarity, structure, and purpose.

“We started Blockchain4Her to create a safe space and build confidence for women to imagine a future in Web3,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget and initiator of Blockchain4Her. “Seeing women in the Philippines take ownership of education and community-building shows what inclusion looks like when it begins at the grassroots level.”

Across their work, the advocates share a common focus on education over speculation and long-term understanding over short-term participation. Llana, a Southeast Asia–based ecosystem builder and co-founder of Buhayin, has worked to translate blockchain and emerging technologies into practical opportunities for local communities, particularly through education and connectivity initiatives in underserved island regions.

“There wasn’t one defining moment,” Llana said. “But working closely with communities showed how thoughtfully applied blockchain technology can support access and participation. That’s when curiosity became intention.”

Education has also been central to the work of Arshelene “Tita Arsh” Lingao, founder of Cryptita Plays, who has focused on improving Web3 literacy among Filipino youth and underserved communities. Alongside Bitget’s other CSR initiative, Blockchain4Youth, she developed the Young Learners’ Encyclopedia, an accessible resource designed to introduce blockchain concepts in a clear and age-appropriate way.

“Too many young people enter crypto without honest guidance,” Lingao said. “Education helps them see Web3 as a space for learning and creativity, not hype.”

MaryWave, also known as Wave3, has addressed similar gaps in the trading space by building education-driven communities centered on market structure, discipline, and risk awareness. As co-founder of Wave3, she has focused on creating environments where women and beginners can learn without pressure or misinformation.

“What was missing was structure and honest education,” MaryWave said. “When people understand the market, confidence replaces fear.”

Through Blockchain4Her, Bitget continues to support women-led initiatives that emphasize responsible learning, long-term empowerment, and inclusive participation in Web3. In markets like the Philippines, where community-driven education plays a critical role, the initiative aims to ensure that women are equipped with knowledge beyond hype, as they explore opportunities in web3. This approach aligns with Bitget’s global education initiatives with UNICEF, which aim to expand access to digital skills and blockchain education for young people and underserved communities worldwide.

Benefits

  • Structured Learning: Moves users away from “hype-driven” participation toward disciplined, structured financial literacy.
  • Safe Spaces for Women: Creates environments where women and beginners can ask questions and learn without pressure or intimidation.
  • Grassroots Empowerment: Translates complex blockchain tech into practical opportunities for underserved and remote island communities.
  • Youth-Centric Resources: Initiatives like the “Young Learners’ Encyclopedia” provide age-appropriate, honest guidance for the next generation.
  • Risk Awareness: Emphasizes market structure and risk management to protect new investors from significant volatility.
  • Global Ecosystem Access: Connects local Filipina advocates to Bitget’s global network of 125 million users and institutional partners.
  • Inclusive Innovation: Ensures that women are not just consumers but active “builders and decision-makers” in the Web3 space.
  • Verified Knowledge: Counters misinformation with “honest education” provided by reputable community leaders.
  • Social Impact Alignment: Supports Bitget’s goal (with UNICEF) to provide blockchain education to 1.1 million people by 2027.
  • Hybrid Financial Tools: Access to a Universal Exchange (UEX) that bridges tokenized TradFi (Stocks, FX) with decentralized digital assets.

Insights

  • Grassroots Ownership: Inclusion in Web3 is most effective when it begins at the community level rather than through top-down corporate mandates.
  • Education vs. Speculation: The long-term success of the Philippine digital economy depends on shifting the narrative from “quick gains” to “long-term understanding.”
  • The “Intention” Pivot: Curiosity about blockchain becomes meaningful “intention” when users see how the tech solves local problems like connectivity and access.
  • Structure Cures Fear: Psychological barriers to entry (fear of loss or complexity) are dismantled once structure and market discipline are introduced.
  • Women as Ecosystem Builders: In Southeast Asia, women are increasingly taking the role of “translators,” making tech accessible to those most often left behind.
  • Vulnerability in Youth: Without honest mentorship, young people enter the digital economy at high risk; “Smart Tech” requires “Smart Mentorship.”
  • Universal Exchange (UEX) Evolution: The future of trading platforms lies in offering everything—from precious metals to ETFs—on a single, education-backed interface.
  • AI-Assisted Security: Using AI “co-pilots” for trade execution adds a layer of safety for users still learning the nuances of market movements.
  • CSR as Core Strategy: Initiatives like Blockchain4Her and Blockchain4Youth are not just charity; they are essential for building a sustainable, high-integrity user base.
  • The “Safe Space” Necessity: For many women, the barrier to Web3 is cultural; creating female-led communities is the key to unlocking the other 50% of the market.

Conclusion

Bitget’s Blockchain4Her initiative is a testament to the power of education-first advocacy in the Philippines. By spotlighting leaders like Bea Llana, Arshelene Lingao, and MaryWave, Bitget is proving that the true value of Web3 lies not in market hype, but in the empowerment of individuals through knowledge. In a 2026 landscape where digital assets are becoming a staple of the global economy, these women are ensuring that the Philippine market remains a leader in responsible innovation—transforming blockchain from a speculative tool into a bridge for financial inclusion and community growth.
