Recently at Blockchain Week in Dubai, the new Co-CEO of a leading exchange, He Yi, talked about women's experiences in the workplace. Her perspective was pretty straightforward—there's simply no such thing as "gender privilege" in the business competition arena.

To be honest, her words might sting a bit, but they're real. There are already very few female executives in the crypto space, and even fewer who make it to the position of Co-CEO. He Yi's promotion this time is, in a way, setting an example for women in the industry. But the point she emphasized is clear: don't expect any special treatment just because of your gender—if you want to succeed, you still have to fight for it.

This kind of attitude is actually much needed in the Web3 world. After all, this industry is already highly competitive, with rapid technological iteration and volatile markets—no one is going to go easy on you just because you're a woman. Instead of hoping for "concessions," it's better to let your hard skills speak for themselves.
