While Bitcoin has been trending sideways in the last days of August, cryptocurrency investors are preparing for the possibility of an impending decline, as they do every year during this period.

When the pill was triggered, all shareholders other than Versata,…

For this cohort, Protocol Guild (PG) has become the sole source of “equity-like” compensation, filling a structural void that traditional employers can’t — or won’t — bridge. The numbers are striking. The median Ethereum core developer earns $140,000 in fiat compensation from their employer, while the median external offer stands at $300,000, creating a 114% gap.

Only 306 deals were disclosed in the quarter, the lowest since mid-2023, but…
