另类跨界:币安在妇女节前推出高档香水

币安于3月5日推出一款高端奢侈香水Crypto。

3月5日,比特币(Bitcoin)的价格创出新高,币圈欢呼雀跃,此时,币安(Binance)则为你人生里坚信比特币会升值的特别的人,提供了一款完美的惊喜礼物。丑闻缠身的全球最大加密货币交易平台币安于这一天推出一款高端奢侈香水Crypto,该公司在声明中称这款香水“将金融与芳香相融合”。

那么加密货币到底是什么味道?冷眼旁观的人可能认为,它能够让一位创始人在接受美国证券交易委员会(Securities and Exchange Commission)的调查时汗流浃背,但币安称它就是“令人心旷神怡的新鲜空气、盐和苔藓的气味”。

据TechCrunch最先爆料,币安推出了大约100瓶香水,但这些香水为非卖品。相反,这些香水将在巴林一家购物中心的快闪店内使用。

该公司表示,用一个精美的瓶子就可以永久捕获加密货币的最终味道,这是一种有意为之的荒谬想法,是在致敬源于一个4chan热梗的“想象一下气味”的玩笑,这个梗后来被币圈反复使用。

币安在声明里称:“这个看似开玩笑的举动有更深层次的动机:直接与公众互动,吸引公众探讨对加密货币的认识,并通过这种不同寻常的方式吸引更多的女性进入加密货币行业。”

这款香水的创意源于币安的女性营销负责人,在3月8日国际妇女节(International Women’s Day)之前推出的目的是吸引更多的女性进入这个领域。该公司还将为在币安学院(Binance Academy)完成入门课程的前5,000名女性提供价值25美元的USDT代币。

币安的首席营销官雷切尔·康兰说:“我们不是要推销CRYPTO香水,而是要告诉女性,她们能够在加密货币革命中发挥重要作用。加密货币是通用的——它可以为所有个体赋能。我们是时候确保在这场金融革命里,不会有任何一名女性被遗忘了。”

Security的一项研究显示,2023年,美国不到五分之一的加密货币持有者是女性,现在已经增长到接近三分之一。与此同时,加密货币创始人只有不足5%是女性。

币安指出,此次营销活动的灵感源于化妆品广告,旨在颠覆人们对加密货币的使用者先入为主的看法。但TechCrunch质问康兰,这次营销活动是否会产生一种性别化的刻板印象,即女性只对女性化的物质商品感兴趣,她辩称:“我最不希望以居高临下的态度解读这件事情,我想要的是一种戏谑的方式。”

虽然该交易平台是本着娱乐精神推出这款香水,但喷洒香水却不足以掩盖币安的前首席执行官及创始人赵长鹏即将迎来审判的困境。赵长鹏将于4月30日在美国西雅图受审。这位加拿大籍公民面临洗钱指控,目前在美国以1.75亿美元获得保释,检察官希望对其判以至少一年半监禁。

此外,据3月5日提交的最新法院文件显示,在2023年6月美国证券交易委员会对币安提起诉讼后不久,该交易平台的美国分支机构币安美国(Binance. US)“突然崩溃”。(财富中文网)

As the crypto community rejoices at Bitcoin breaking its all-time high on March 5, Binance has the perfect gift to surprise that special HODL-er in your life. The world’s largest and scandal-ridden crypto exchange today unveiled Crypto, its own luxury scent “blending finance with fragrance,” according to a statement.

So what exactly does crypto smell like? Cynics might suggest it would evoke the sweat of a founder during an Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, but Binance insists it’s nothing but “refreshing notes of ozone, salt, and moss.”

Binance has produced around 100 bottles of the perfume, but they aren’t actually for sale, TechCrunch first reported. Instead, pop-up stands in a Bahrain shopping mall will share the fragrance.

The notion that the definitive smell of crypto could be captured forever in an opulent bottle is deliberately absurdist, the company says, and a nod to an “imagine the smell” joke derived from a 4chan meme that has since been reclaimed by the crypto community.

“This seemingly playful move carries a deeper motive: direct engagement with the public on how crypto is perceived, along with an unconventional device to attract more women into this industry,” Binance said in a statement.

Conceived by Binance’s female marketing leaders, the perfume has been launched ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, in an effort to drive more women toward the space. The company is also offering the first 5,000 women who complete a beginner course on Binance Academy, $25 in USDT.

“CRYPTO isn’t a scent we’re marketing—it’s a message to women that they have a significant role to play in the crypto revolution,” said Rachel Conlan, chief marketing officer at Binance. “Crypto is universal—it’s about empowering all individuals. It’s time to ensure no woman is left behind in this financial revolution.”

In 2023, less than a fifth of U.S. crypto holders were women, a number that has however risen to just under a third, according to a study by Security. Meanwhile, fewer than 5% of crypto founders are female.

Binance says the campaign takes inspiration from beauty advertising tropes, subverting preconceived notions of who crypto is for. However, when TechCrunch questioned Conlan on whether the campaign appeals to gendered stereotypes that women are only interested in feminized material goods, she defended the approach: “The last thing I’d want for this is to be patronizing. What I want is to be tongue-in-cheek.”

While the exchange may be launching the perfume in a spirit of fun, a few spritzes may not be enough to mask former CEO founder Changpeng Zhao’s upcoming sent-encing that is slated for April 30 in Seattle. Prosecutors are seeking a prison term of at least 1.5 years for the Canadian national, who faces money-laundering charges and is currently free on a $175 million bond in the U.S.

The perfume drop also follows news that Binance.US, the American arm of the exchange, “imploded” soon after the SEC hit Binance with a lawsuit in June of last year, according to new court documents filed on March 5.
