Sitting in a purple gaming chair, a matching mini microphone in her hand, the woman on the screen details the financial news of the day.
“Hey, girls,” she said casually, “let’s talk about potential bear market scenarios.”
CryptoWendyO, as she calls hundreds of thousands of viewers on TikTok, YouTube and other platforms, continues her latest dispatch on the revolutionary world of digital currency. She’s part of a new class of online character influencers like TheBlockchainBoy and BitBoy Crypto who are demystifying cryptocurrency and redefining how young audiences get their financial news and analysis.
But like many women with significant online reach, CryptoWendyO says she is the target of relentless abuse and harassment, largely driven by sexism and misogyny. To protect herself, she doesn’t use her real name.
In her 30s and raising a young girl, CryptoWendyO sees her work as a way to make finance more inclusive and as a way to document her own path to financial independence.
“Crypto has improved my quality of life and I think everyone deserves the same,” she said.
CryptoWendyO makes money through trading, investing, and advisory work. She makes five to six figures a year, she says. Like other creators of crypto and finance, she stresses that she is not a financial advisor and that potential investors should do their own research.

Ben Armstrong, another prominent crypto streamer who runs the BitBoy Crypto channels, touts CryptoWendyOs diligence and says his ability to build relationships with other women and mothers is a welcome and refreshing prospect.
“Crypto has been a club of good ol ‘chauvinistic boys for so long, and it’s great to see those walls come down.”
