Euni Wong, artistically known as Eunicorn, has always found significant inspiration in unconventionalism. Taking a liking to decentralized finance and crypto, she recognized early on that the novel form of technology omits a need for control.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the emerging artist noticed her interest in crypto increase as she endured the monotony that accompanied quarantining. Her entrance into the crypto scene was less about making money and more about further fueling her desire to challenge authority with a pristine tech category. Eunicorn’s social media presence grew as she shared her newfound learning experiences in crypto.

Her initial anonymity played a crucial role in her decisions. “People thought I was a man, which made me go public to challenge the stereotype,” the influencer explains. She also states, “As a woman in a male-dominated space, she started the OG women wave in crypto,” encouraging other ladies with similar interests to hop on board.

Keeping her presence prominent in crypto, Eunicorn also showcases a passion for music. Her spontaneous entrance into music informed her unique manner of self-expression. What started as a visit to her friend’s recording studio became a contemporary path for her goals.

The crypto influencer’s journey into the tech industry began with resistance as she fought stereotypes claiming women couldn’t excel in such a space. Upon proving herself worthy within the field, she would aim to carve out a lane for other women hoping to enter the world of cryptocurrency and finance.

Subsequently, music and crypto sit at a crossroads for an authentic artist and influencer like Eunicorn. Highlighting the humor in people’s assumptions that she couldn’t be a woman running a crypto account, the experience became a critical talking point that pushed her to destigmatize women in tech spaces.

She states that “it wasn’t until I started going live on social media” that people started to see what a woman could do in the industry. Everyone was “shocked to see a woman behind it all,” she contently reflects.

Now holding crypto in her back pocket, Eunicorn merges her eccentric perspective on opportunity and resilience in finance with her musical motives. Showcasing songs like “LFG” and “Buy the Dip,” her financial experiences resonate with a kindred audience that appreciates the juxtaposition of music and crypto blended into one culture.

Eunicorn’s authenticity and genuine nature differentiate her in an industry men have historically dominated. Her fearlessness and transparency are approaches that most choose not to take. The crypto enthusiast leverages her individualistic trading process in real-time while engaging with her community, where she wants everyone to succeed.

“I’m not just here to make money; I’m here to make a difference,” she quips. With this core principle, Eunicorn’s mission is to inspire women to embrace financial independence. Actively interacting with her followers, she emphasizes the importance of financial literacy while encouraging women to tackle the tech industry’s obstacles.

Spotlighting some challenges of being a woman in crypto, Eunicorn initially felt her opinions held no weight. Many viewers believed she was only “playing around,” pushing her to work twice as hard to prove her worth in the field. Eunicorn’s persistence to stay present allowed her to build a loyal community that fuels her ability to keep going.
