<p class="is-style-lead">Binance is facing major backlash online as users decry its use of a perfume to market to women as a sexist attempt to appeal to women by playing into female stereotypes.</p>
<p>It’s not unusual for major cryptocurrency companies like Binance to launch non-crypto accessories to cash in on the market’s enthusiasm, whether it’s <a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> t-shirts, meme coin-themed phone covers, or NFT-themed sunglasses.

<p>Binance is promoting the perfume ahead of International Women’s Day to motivate women to participate actively in the crypto space.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite ongoing demands for change, disparities in gender representation in the tech industry remain stark. In 2022, while women constituted 49% of the overall US workforce, they filled only 26% of positions in computing and technology sectors, as reported by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) in their annual State of the Tech <a href="https://www.womentech.net/en-gb/women-in-tech-stats#:~:text=Gaps%20in%20STEM%20Education%20Graduate%20Stats,-The%20gender%20gap&amp;text=Women%20account%20for%20a%20mere,Physical%20Sciences%20degree%20recipients%20respectively." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a>.</p>
<p>After the post, responses soon began pouring in online from people criticizing Binance for the apparent sexist blunder.</p>
