Black, Hispanic investors struggle with faith in crypto

Cryptocurrency’s recent meltdown has sparked a debate between those who still believe in its future and those who see it as a risky and unproven asset class that preys on vulnerable people. In addition, the marketing of crypto to minority communities has been compared to “predatory inclusion,” like payday loans and subprime mortgages, touting it as an economic equalizer without highlighting the risks involved. Though progress has been made in increasing the diversity of the industry, advocates say more needs to be done to encourage young Black and Hispanic people to pursue crypto development careers to make it more accessible and equitable.
