Female crypto influencers that have spoken up about gender inequality in the blockchain space have recently had their Instagram accounts removed. Cointelegraph previously reported that three female crypto influencers — Rachel Siegel, Lea Thompson and Catalina Castro Lagos — were mysteriously removed from Instagram following Siegel’s comments on Twitter about the underrepresentation of women in the crypto community.
The remarks from Siegel were made in response to Binance only including one woman (herself) as a nominee for their global influencer awards. Lagos was one of only two women to be in contention for the award for the Latin America region.
