We sat down with Luno’s Carin Bowman to talk about her journey to financial freedom and 3 the things she wishes she’d known.

How can crypto offer women opportunities for financial inclusion and foster equality?

Lavinia D Osbourne is on a mission to close the gender gap in crypto. Here’s how she’s doing it.

This is an extract of the internal message shared with Luno employees today.

“I told myself and my friend as well, what if instead of regretting not being able to buy at the best time, we just start now?”

“I was in my 30s and I didn’t have any savings. I feel like it’s a bit late for someone on my age to start investing, and I don’t want to waste my time anymore”

“I definitely want to start acquiring cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and start doing monthly deposits.”

“I learned about crypto by reading books, watching educational content on YouTube, and exploring podcasts that talked about it.”

To honour International Women’s Day, we’re spotlighting six influential women in crypto who have made it their mission to cultivate an inclusive space that caters to other women.

“Although crypto comes with its own complexities, I found it to be more accessible [than the stock market], especially with an app like Luno.”

“I’ve learnt, I’ve read, I’ve understood. I’ve kept my money with Luno for a long time”

“With crypto, it’s really proven its worth already”
