Prolific crypto developers Ian and Dylan Macalinao have left their venture capital firm Protagonist VC. This comes after the Macalinao brothers used a web of secret identities to juice the value of their Solana-based DeFi project “Saber” and later pivoted to startup investing with a $100 million fund, as CoinDesk reported in August. “The Hash” panel discusses the latest fallout of the crypto industry’s pseudonymous economy.
